About the Item
In this painting, Robert Richter has composed a tightly-cropped image of a leafy bush, paying attention to its individual sprigs and flowers. Below the shrub, a row of small flowers - perhaps dandelions - scatter the foreground like tiny trees. The bush itself is an orange-yellow, unlike the bright red bushes traditionally referred to by this name. This might suggest that Richter isn't so much interested in specific plant species, but in making the connections most any bush could have to literature. This playful ambiguity privileges faint memory over direct observation and is part of Richter's working process.

Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of eight. His unique paintings are hand carved on wood as well as hand carved frames that become an integral part of the paintings. The artist comments, “I want my paintings to be stunning from across the room, to beckon, as all good paintings should. And then close up, what a surprise!” The artist lived in New York where he painted literally everything from stage sets to mural commissions. He painted store front windows, lithographs from aluminum plates for actors, T-shirts, costumes, curtains, wall hangings, furniture and floors. His unique experiences, intellect, extraordinary color sensibility result in a stunning style with flavors of Avery, Grant Wood and Matisse, but mostly himself.
