R.V. Goetz
'Female Nude', by R.V. Goetz, Charcoal on Paper Drawing

About the Item

This Richard Vernon Goetz Drawing on Paper from the mid-20th Century features a standing female nude rendered in black and grey cross-hatch lines of Charcoal and Conté Crayon. The weight of the very upright figure is on the left foot which is positioned a bit forward of the right foot. The composition is bisected by a horizontal ledge just behind the figure where her hands are resting. Her gaze is a bit upward and to the right of the viewer. The drawing is matted and framed in a wooden frame. Born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, Richard Vernon Goetz grew up in Pryor Creek, Oklahoma and attended Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma. He studied in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. Among his teachers were George A. Bridgman and Jonas Lie. He also studied with Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He further broadened his training by extensive travel in Europe, where he studied the Dutch Masters and the French Impressionists. Acknowledging art as one of the highest forms of self-expression, Goetz continued to paint in a classic mode. His carefully composed still lives of American Kachina Dolls and a variety of rare Western, Indian and Oriental artifacts, suffused with a scintillating light, are balanced with contrasting hues. For many years after his marriage to Edith Goetz, also an artist, Goetz lived and worked in Oklahoma City where he conducted his own art school. A Grand Central artist member for over 25 years, Goetz exhibited with galleries in New York and Santa Fe. Goetz's many awards included the McDonough and Purchase Awards at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio; and the President's Award, American Artists Professional League. Before moving to upper Westchester County, New York, where he maintained his studio, Richard Goetz painted numerous portraits including those of the late President John F. Kennedy and the legendary Washington party-giver Perle Mesta. He died in 1991.

'Seated Female Nude, ' by Paul Wingo, Charcoal/Conte Drawing
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This beautiful framed black and white large scale study of a young female model seated looking away from the viewer, 'Seated Female Nude' captures and embraces the human form. Wingo approaches the nude figure with energetic line and play of light and shadow in a monochromatic palette. " I have been an Artist for many years. I received my Masters in Fine Art from Wichita State University, in Wichita, Kansas. I have taught art for many years. My work is intentionally loose in rendering, the purpose is to engage the memory of the viewer. I believe that the Artist should lead the viewer to make conclusions of their own. At a distance I have been told that my work appears photographic, yet, upon closer examination the viewer is often surprised to find how much detail their minds-eye has added to the image. I currently reside in Norwalk, Connecticut." -- Paul Wingo
