"Figure
in Doorway" 28" x 14" oil on canvas |
|
This is an interesting example of my father’s love of and dialogue with art history. I only caught the connection recently, but I’m quite certain the work was inspired by Ruben’s “The Temple of Janus.” He has given it a very different spin of course -gone is the Roman reference - but clearly the painting bears the imprint of the Ruben’s work compositionally, with the central figure emerging dramatically thru the doorway of a domed building. |
