- Lot Description
Oleg Stavrowsky (American, 1927-2020). "The Wanderer" oil on board, ca. 1970s-80s. Signed lower right. A striking Western painting by Oleg Stavrowsky featuring two cowboys on horseback traversing snowy terrain just beyond a grove of evergreens with a lone cow in the foreground wandering through the snowpack; this "wandering" bovine clearly inspired Stavrowsky's title "The Wanderer". The composition is impressively executed with remarkable foreshortening and photographic realism. It feels as if we are right in the scene! Stavrowsky believed that extensive experience in the field was key to capturing that "in the moment" quality. In his words, "I found that authentic western areas and activities such as ranching, riding, rodeo, etc. are absolutely essential to believable paintings…none of this can be 'faked'." A remarkable painting by Stavrowsky mounted in an attractive custom frame with a rustic quality that suits the theme perfectly. Size (sight view): 23.625" L x 35.5" W (60 cm x 90.2 cm) Size (frame): 34.5" L x 46.25" W (87.6 cm x 117.5 cm)
About the artist: Born in New York to immigrant parents from Russia, Oleg Stavrowsky was born in New York to immigrant parents. Following military service in World War II, Stavrowsky created technical illustrations for McDonnell Douglas Aircraft as wall as fashion illustrations for the advertising world. However, a visit to the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1969 catapulted him in a new direction. Stavrowksy stopped doing commercial illustrations and launched his career as a fine artist of the American West. He decided to settle in the vicinity of Austin, Texas and painted cowboys, Native Americans, and horses in the Western landscape for nearly 50 years.
A painting by Oleg Stavrowksy titled "Love Letter" with a similar theme (cowboy and horse in winter) and of the same size sold with a hammer price of $7500 (Simpson's May 20, 2023 - lot #205).
Provenance: private Erie, Colorado, USA collection, purchased from Trailside Galleries in Jackson, Wyoming, USA in 1981
