SAMUEL OPPENHEIM AMERICAN SELF PORTRAIT OIL PAINTING
Samuel Edmund Oppenheim, American, 1901 to 1992, oil painting on canvas, Self Portrait. Circa: 1960s. Framed. Inscribed and titled, on the backside. Samuel Oppenheim is known for Impressionist landscape, figure and still life paintings, illustrations, teaching. Samuel Edmund Oppenheim occupies a unique place in the history of American painting. A thoroughgoing Impressionist, he was a student of Charles Hawthorne on Cape Cod and Harvey Dunn in New York. Another strong influence was Walter Biggs, the incomparable American illustrator whose freely-brushed watercolor paintings graced most leading magazines in the early decades of the Twentieth Century. Oppenheim was principally a painter of charming easel pictures, which exude a gracious, mellow poetry. Several motifs recur with frequency in his oeuvre: mother and child in an idyllic landscape, beautiful women posing modestly in a gentle Victorian interior, lush floral still lifes, young ballerinas posing in stage costume, decorous nudes in a domestic interior. Modern American Fine Art, Impressionist Portrait Oil Paintings, Wall Art, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
