Kenneth Stubbs (1907 - 1967) - Kenneth Stubbs (1907 - 1967) Casein on board , Signed , measures 4.5” x 4.5” , w/frame 7” x 7”Born in Ochlocknee, Georgia, in 1907, Stubbs moved to Washington, D.C. with his family as a young boy. From 1926 to 1930, he studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. Kenneth Stubbs painted in oil and casein and did extensive pen drawing and water color. His interest in tradition, in form and content, and in modern art led him to a painting style concerned with flat or semi-flat patterns, where bright colors and angular, faceted forms combine to give the full work a sense of motion or action. His lifelong fascination with the Golden Section, kindled during his studies with E. Ambrose Webster and intensified during a year abroad, strongly informed his compositions. But his analytical mind, which was so drawn to geometry, chess, and go, also produced lyrical water colors and Japanese brush drawings and his expert draftsman's hand was also capable of drawings of gentle humor and wit.
