Original oil pastel figure drawing by celebrated, twentieth-century California impressionist landscape painter, Ronald Shap. Head and torso of a nude African American man sitting in profile on rich, brown paper. 25.5x19.5 inches on paper. Signed.
We note discoloration along edges, approximately 1/2 inch in depth, and a nick in the paper on the top right edge, approximately 1/3 inch in depth, plus the two bottom corners have small creases. All should be invisible if properly matted and framed. We also note unevenness in the paper throughout.
Ronald Shap was born in Toledo, OH and lived most of his life in California. Ronald was a scholarship award graduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1964 and completed graduate study in painting at the University of Nebraska and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1967. He was a visiting artist and instructor at BGSU in 1973-74 and worked out of his Los Angeles studio and taught drawing and anatomy at Citrus College until his retirement in 2005.
