AMERICAN SCHOOL (Mid-to-late 20th century). Dynamic and Abstracted Coastal View. Oil on canvas. Highly textural expressionist work with a heavy impasto technique. Signed "WATERFORD" lower right hand corner. The artist uses a vibrant and warm palette dominated by ochre yellows, oranges, deep reds, and dark browns to create a luminous, almost fiery atmosphere. The composition is built from tall, blocky, vertical forms suggesting the architecture of a seaside town. Lastly, two highly simplified, light-colored triangular shapes stand out against this backdrop, clearly representing the sails of small boats. Framed.
