Ralph Eugene Della-VolpeStorm over the Water Abstract1956
1956
About the Item
This semi-abstract with wonderful red, orange coloration depicts a storm coming over a beach and the water. It has all the elements of abstraction desirable in the market currently, similar to the work of Wolf Kahn. Della-Volpe worked the same way, creating abstract compositions where you can still see elements of nature. In this piece the grasses, lights in the distance and the moon are all discernible. Della-Volpe was a Post War artist who then moved on to being a colorist like Milton Avery. It is framed in a fine silvered leaf float frame of high quality that compliments the piece. Canvas size inside the frame is 21 x 21 inches.
"Everything I paint is based on my own feelings about life, my own insights, my own observations and my own needs for expression."
Della-Volpe first studied painting at the National Academy of Design before joining the Army during World War II. As a soldier, the artist saw action on Utah Beach, and his experiences undoubtedly affected his later artistic style. Tom Wolf, of Bard College, explained that the paintings Della-Volpe produced after his return from service in World War II “project feelings of melancholy.” expressed in the tense expressions in the figures’ faces. The “coloristic exuberance” found in the works beginning in the mid 1960’s, with their vibrant fuscias and yellows, seem to offset what could be an otherwise solemn tone to many of his works at the time.
Upon his return from military service, Della-Volpe took a teaching position as the first artist-in-residence at Bennett College in Millbrook, New York where he remained for 28 years, serving as chairman of the Art Department for most of that time.
