Kurt Feuerherm Original Modernist Abstract Painting on Canvas

Item Details

An original oil painting on canvas by listed American Modernist artist Kurt Feuerherm (born 1925). This abstract painting features a composition divided into three main portions, reminiscent of a landscape. A textural yellow-green field fills the lower portion. A horizontal band of blue and creams with some impasto areas evokes a horizon line, separating the field below from dark blue above that suggests a sky and is rendered in broad horizontal brushstrokes of thin paint. The work is signed to the lower right. It is presented in a natural slat style wood frame and is ready to hang with a wire.

After graduating with a BFA from the University of Buffalo, Feuerherm went on to earn an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Arts and then on to a post-graduate fellowship at Yale University studying with such luminaries at Josef Albers, Stuart Davis, Louis Kahn, and Naum Gabo. He was a professor at Empire State Collage in New York, lived and taught in Florence, Italy and finally taught at Rochester Institute of Technology. His work is widely exhibited and is in the collection major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
