About the Item

Three Dancers - Figurative Painting in Ink and Gouache Wonderful abstracted figurative gouache painting of three dancers by Tom Hamil (American, b. 1928). Three figures are shown in bright colors and black ink, with a loose, flowing style. There are splashes and splatters of ink, in a similar style to Ralph Steadman. Signed and dated "Hamil 03" lower right. Unframed. Image size: 11"H x 15"W Tom Hamil, was born in New York in 1928 and raised primarily in California. After attending the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, he returned to California to begin his formal art training at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco (now known as the San Francisco Art Institute). He completed his education at the University of Washington with a Master’s Degrees and Doctorate in Fine Arts and Education. His first solo exhibition was held in 1956. Since then, he has participated in numerous one man shows, group shows, and has been represented in galleries in the US and Mexico. In addition to his painting, Hamil has authored and illustrated a number of books. While at the Naval Academy, he received recognition for his paintings, drawings, and illustrations. Listed among Hamil’s many awards and honors are a Ford Foundation Fellowship and an Award of Excellence from the American Graphics Society. Currently, he lives in Zirahuen, Michoacan, Mexico and Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Hamil’s statement: “I am a man who paints. Colors are the notes with which I play my music—honky tonk, jazz, blues, classical—expressing the rituals, funerals, fiestas, carnivals—in this, the circus of my life, I do not paint what I see, merely, I paint what I am.”
