- Lot Description
Robert Charles Gruppe (American, b. 1944). "Turbulent Sea" oil on canvas board, 1968. Artist's signature lower left. A stunning painting by Robert Charles Gruppe that lives up to its title: "Turbulent Sea". Gruppe captures the dynamic motion of the wild waters and the dramatic mood of the atmosphere with his signature vibrant palette - waves rendered in rich shades of violet and marine blue contrasting with white caps and azure blue mist, skillfully delineated light effects, expressive brush strokes and marvelous use of the palette knife resulting in luscious impasto passages. A breathtaking moment in time captured en plein air by contemporary impressionist painter Robert Charles Gruppe, a native Gloucester artist who comes from an impressive line as son to Emile Albert Gruppe (1896-1978) and grandson to Charles Paul Gruppe (1860-1940). Size (painting): 16" L x 20" W (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Size (frame): 19.8" L x 23.8" W (50.3 cm x 60.5 cm)
About the Artist: Robert Charles Gruppe studied at Yale University, Columbia University, and the National University of Mexico. In addition he received an Italian government award while in Italy on a Fulbright grant. According to the Gruppe Gallery: "Robert Charles Gruppe, in the classic Renaissance tradition, benefited from a twenty year apprenticeship under his father at the Gloucester School of Painting. Upon receiving a two year scholarship from the Elizabeth Greenshield Foundation of Canada he studied drawing under the tutelage of sculptor George Demetrios.
Robert continues the artistic legacy of his father Emile and grandfather Charles P. Gruppe, in his own evolving personal style which embodies the influences of his heritage and his environment - Cape Ann, Massachusetts and Naples, Florida.
He records the impressions of a scene with increasingly powerful brush strokes in his characteristic palette of vibrant colors. His paintings capture the light, movement, and mood of the composition. They share with the observer a story which blends the past and present combining his family tradition with a contemporary need for a personal statement.
Robert C. Gruppe has exhibited for over 30 years in Gloucester's distinguished North Shore Arts Association and in the Meriden, Connecticut Art Association, winning numerous awards. Some of his most recent awards include the Rockport Art Association Great Gatsby Award and the Roger Curtis Memorial Award. He was a recent recipient of the North Shore Arts Association's Gorton's of Gloucester Waters of the World Award and Margaret Fitzhugh Brown Memorial Award, as well as the Gold Medal Award. Robert's work is shown along the entire Eastern seaboard and collected by museums and private collectors alike." (Source: The Gruppe Gallery website)
