LOT NOTES
Richard Maury (b. 1935) is an American Realist painter known for his visually rich paintings of models placed within cluttered interiors. From 1956, he attended the Corcoran Gallery`s Art School before moving to New York to train at New York`s Art Students League. Maury developed a Realist painting style, which his American Abstract Expressionist contemporaries called a thing of the past. Leaving behind the buzz around nonrepresentational painting, Maury decided to his pursue his love of Renaissance culture in the one place that made sense: Italy. Arriving in Florence in 1960, Maury and his wife, Anne, focused on selling his paintings to pay the bills and support their five children. Maury tutored himself in the styles of Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, and appropriated their modes of rendering into his own work. Like Vermeer, Maury allows his interiors to come to life as he paints every object with an incredible amount of detail. With this richness, he transforms everyday objects and plain looking subjects into grandiose masterpieces that compellingly combine the old and the new. - Buyer's Premium
