Ralph Della-Volpe

Entering the Living Room

1999-2003

A unique and uplifting Della-Volpe of a woman with abstracted elements of a flag that speaks of pride in America. Della-Volpe himself had been in the war and when he came home he was part of the New York abstract-expressionist movement. He moved away from this and felt that color and subject matter were his interests within abstraction. He did a series called "The Flagmaker" and while this work is slightly different than those, it still explores the theme of symbols that represent countries and its citizens. This is a large work and he has wonderfully incorporated elements of stars and the red, white and blue colors. There is also an "X" but this is a spatial element of design and he was also interested at this time in putting in 'pop-art" type references to culture as well. A great painting for a living room or family room or entryway. The canvas measures 50.25 x 48 inches within the frame. IT is in a wonderful, custom designed 22 karat silvered float frame. It is signed by the artist in the upper left. And the provenance is acquired directly from the artist. Woman with Flag...
