Gazing Modernist Portrait<br>1981 Wax Crayon on Paper<br><br>#95088

Patrick Stigliani This 1981 century colorful drawing of a manis by Pasquale Patrick Stigliani (1926-2003), a New York City painter and poet. He was an independent artist trained under the principles of New York's Art Student's League in the 1950s. Stigliani was inspired by Post-Impressionist landscapes and Central Park, the realism of the Ashcan School's still lifes and self-portraiture, and German Expressionism's emotional release and focus on strong lines. Stigliani was a dedicated Upper West Side artist who painted as passionately as he lived. 1981Ink and Wax Crayon on Paper8.5"x12" unframedGood vintage condition.
