Giuseppe Napoli (American, 1929-1967). Oil on wood panel, ca. 1950s. Signed at upper right. A beautiful painting by Giuseppe Napoli depicting a traditional subject - a vase of flowers - in a progressive style. Napoli explored both expressionistic representational and complete non-representational art. While this composition is certainly figurative and references the real world, a close look at the blossoms of this composition points to Napoli's sophisticated pursuit of nonrepresentational art . Gestural brushstrokes along with luscious drips and skeins of paint suggest Napoli's experimentation with Abstract Expressionism. A very special piece by mid-century, New York School modernist Giuseppe Napoli. Size: 24" L x 14.3" W (61 cm x 36.3 cm) Size of frame: 24.75" L x 15.1" W (62.9 cm x 38.4 cm)
Giuseppe Napoli lived and worked in Greenwich Village during the 1950s and 1960s. He was an immensely talented contributor to the New York School. His oeuvre demonstrated innovative exploration of Modernist Representational style as well as Abstract Expressionism. Sadly, Napoli suffered from depression, and despite being featured in solo and group exhibitions, the artist had a difficult time sustaining his career. Tragically, his life was cut short by suicide in 1967.
