Acquired from the above by the present owner
Richard Schmid took what might be termed a transformational approach to traditional genres of painting—landscape, the nude, and the still life. His landmark book on technique, Alla Prima, went through eleven printings and an expanded version, Alla Prima II, is now in its fourth printing. Oranges and Limes and Nectarines and Pears draws its energy from the impressionism of Monet and Renoir, where the objects—the pears, apples, oranges, limes—as well as the mug, jug and tablecloth are rendered and made to seem round through the juxtaposition of shaded planar strokes. Don’t let the pleasant beauty of the piece fool you— Oranges and Limes and Nectarines and Pears is an achievement earned only after years of study and practice.
-James D. Balestrieri
