Artist’s copyright with signature and gallery label on back of frame. Chicago born Zolan graduated from the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago and later studied at the famed Art Students League in New York City. He quickly became the prized pupil of Louis Ritman, an instructor at the academy. Ritman, a personal friend and student of Claude Monet for over 20 years and was often invited to paint with the famous Impressionist artist at his private garden studio at Giverny. Ritman taught Zolan the fundamental techniques and style of Impressionism. He was the brother of Donald James Zolan. Born into a family legacy of five generations of artists and sculptors, Zolan can be seen as carrying John Singer Sargent’s legacy of American Impressionism into the late 20th century. He followed in the tradition of Reynolds Beal, Marilyn Bendell, Frank Weston Benson, Johann Berthelsen, Colin Campbell Cooper, Daniel Garber, Hayley Lever, Sueo Serisawa, Martha Walter and more. Significant exhibitions include the Metropolitan Galleries in Osaka, Japan, the World Trade Center, Cape Cod Art Association, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Richard spends his summers in Massachusetts with his family and winters in Palm Desert, California. Richard Zolan, who has long been adherent to the principles of European and American impressionism, has established himself as one of America's most exceptional painters of art, prints and posters. Richard Judson Zolan became an artist for the love of creating and the recognition his art has developed stems purely from talent. The most pervasive quality of his art, prints and posters is the extraordinary synergy he achieves in bringing to his canvas a triumphant marriage of modern art with its Renaissance ancestry. He is energetic, prolific and enthusiastic about his creativity. He pursues his art with precision, efficiency, love and optimism. His subjects included ballet dancers, florals, judaica, rabbi paintings, children at play and beautiful women. His romantic art, prints and posters have become a standard for an authentically distinct genre, Romantic American Impressionism. He is of the generation of artists that included Douglas Arthur Teed, Tucker Bobst, Alexander Dzigurski, Ernest T Fredericks, Andre Gisson, Donald Purdy, Willem Van Den Berg, Hudson Mindell Kitchell, Svend Svendsen, Antoine Blanchard, Jules Rene Herve, Yolande Ardissone and others. Exhibiting internationally, Richard Judson Zolan lives as he paints, with verve, vigor and creativity.

Woman, Yellow Shawl and Fan
Located in Greenwich, CT
An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
