Heavily Textured Abstract Expressionist Composition in Oil on Canvas Bold, textured, abstract composition by California artist Harald "Harry" Dry Schmidt (American, 1933-1979). Bright, bold colors swirl together - primarily magenta, yellow, and orange. The colors are laid out in thick patches, likely with a palette knife. Harald was an eclectic San Francisco Abstract and Outsider artist from 1960-1990. Large areas of color blocking are accentuated by heavy texture. Detailed areas of the painting feature large ridges and the evidence of wet-on-wet painting techniques. Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. No frame. Canvas size: 40"H x 30"W
