About the Item
Dorothy Rivo
Untitled (Mediterranean Village), c. 1960s–70s
Oil on canvas
Framed dimensions: 24 in. H × 36 in. W
Presented in a contemporary white floater frame
In Untitled (Mediterranean Village), Dorothy Rivo captures the lyricism of place through a kaleidoscopic wash of color, form, and light. This abstracted townscape pulses with atmospheric texture—sun-bleached stucco, terra cotta rooftops, winding staircases, and glimmers of shadow rendered in a palette of cerulean, ochre, slate, and lavender.
Rivo’s handling of oil is lush and expressive, building up architectural forms that dissolve at the edges into a kind of poetic haze. The composition invites the viewer to move through its layered geometry like one might wander a hillside village: slowly, curiously, and with reverence for the interplay of structure and softness.
Evocative of mid-century European travel painting and American modernist abstraction, this work reveals Rivo’s rare gift for transforming memory into mood. Professionally housed in a clean white floater frame, the piece is both transportive and timeless—an ideal centerpiece for collectors of postwar abstraction with soul.
