**Originally Listed At $1000**
Paul Forster (American, 1925-2012). "River Pastoral Scene" oil on board, n.d. Signature and title on verso. A serene painting by Paul Forster entitled "River Pastorial Scene" portraying an idyllic landscape of a river meandering through the hilly countryside scattered with roaming livestock. The tranquil stream zigs and zags into the distance as rustic homes rise from the hills and plains of the background. Forster's lofty open brushstrokes combine with his sensitive use of light to convey a delightful composition in an aesthetic evocative of Impressionist painting. Size of painting: 35.1" W x 23.4" H (89.2 cm x 59.4 cm) Size of frame: 40.4" W x 28.5" H (102.6 cm x 72.4 cm)
At the age eight, Paul Forster became the youngest member of the Albright Art Gallery Association in Buffalo, New York and also started studying at the Museum School with watercolorist Robert Blair. During World War II, Forster served in the Army Air Corps, and in 1952, he graduated from Brigham Young University with a Fine Arts Degree. In the late 1950s, Forster had a studio in Nevada painted murals for the Mormon Church. In the early 1960s, he taught art and became Chairman of the Art Department of the L.D.S. Schools of the South Pacific in Tonga. In 1969 he left Brigham Young University to paint full time. For the greater part of the next decade, Forster traveled throughout the American Southwest in an Airstream trailer to paint. In time, he moved to Oregon followed by Kansas City, but eventually returned to Arizona.
Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
