Folk art style painting on board labeled NEGRO TROOPS 1864 Vermont Vol. Excellent and unusual image depicting a Civil War Solider with A gun and Watermelon Slice.

Look at each photograph and zoom up to notice details / imperfections / colors / etc. Measures approx 29 1/2” x 25′. Great display piece and a must have if your a folk art decorator / collector. Credited to listed artist Antonio Romano. Primitive modernist, Antonio Romano, is a classically trained artist with ancestral roots dating back five generations, who developed a distinctive style combining modernism and narrative folk art, with an aura of surrealism and mystery. The influence of Man Ray, Giorgio De Chirico, the Italian Futurists, Paul Delvaux and Rene Magritte is acknowledged, but Romano has assimilated their influence and gone his own way to create stunning and provocative primitive modernist paintings that are carefully and skillfully conceived, designed and executed. Incorporating narrative folk artwork referencing American landscapes, scenes of historic action, or folk portraits of American Indians, soldiers and rogues, Romano is drawn to figurative reinterpretation of historic scenes and art of the past. A Fresco artist, Antonio Romano has a style that is reminiscent of a bygone era — influenced by the use of colors from that time as well as its imagery. His background as a fresco painter informs his unique contemporary style. Romano works with inks and dyes, often of his own formula, and with emulsions that he has created over the years, handed down by his ancestors. He applies his fresco and inks to the backsides of “found” canvases and discarded paintings that absorb his intricate layering of inks and images that transform the color palette giving the work a patina that communicates age and a modern sense of history. Romano was part of the emerging New York City art scene in the 1980s. He has done frescoes for the ceiling and walls of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Albany, Our Lady of Pompeii in Greenwich Village, and he designed the restaurant, Bella Blu Ristorante in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York where his fresco’s still hang on the walls. His works have been shown in several exhibitions including Art Port Gallery, New York, Mary Boone, New York, and John Sullivan Gallery, New York. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”.

Paul Nickel (Welsh) was a New Jersey artist who constructed his work in the American Folk Art tradition. His inspiration came from old samplers. He laboriously painted, cut and applied canvas, and found objects, and self frames them. He signed the pieces “Welsh”. He took the tradition a step further with his incredible take on his subjects. He was in the Merchant Marine so many of his subjects are ships or sea related. He also drew from Americana for his subjects. He is widely and enthusiastically collected. Anyone who has been lucky enough to own one of his pieces usually comes back for more. Mr Nickel passed away in a car accident in 2006.
