About the Item
In this painting, Robert Richter depicts a tall and narrow tree, reaching high into the sky from the paved street below. Using monochromatic color and a tall vertical format, Richter looks to Chinese scroll paintings and Japanese woodblock prints, thus elevating the subject of a quiet suburban sidewalk. At the same time, because of this Japonisme, the painting likewise resembles the images that Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen captured of the Flatiron building in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. Richter's technique of carving his designs into the wood panel support leaves the subject appearing even more like a memory than these Pictorialist photographs.

Born in Milwaukee, Robert Richter has been painting from the age of 8. 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.
