About the Item

Early Evening has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface - please note. The size and feel of this work will enliven any corner of a home in an uplifting and light way. The artist painted his whole life and has a well noted biography. The painting is signed in the upper right. A highly expressive and unique color palette to this work. Ralph liked to say that his work is about color and rhythm and this painting was in an exhibition with that title at the Greenwich Gallery, Greenwich, CT. The artwork measures 20 x 18 within the frame so dimensions are framed dimensions.
