Artist
Richard Merkin
Medium
Painting - Tempera On Board
Description
MFA in Painting, 1963; Professor Emeritus, Department of Painting; taught at RISD 1963-2005
About the artist: Merging his role as flaneur (connoisseur of city life) with his role as painter and social historian, Richard Merkin retrieves lost cultural artifacts - a Turkish cigarette, a gangster, a bowler and generally "things most people don't know about" - and reconstitutes their Jazz Age virtues on canvas in cubist, comic-laced landscapes of tropical color.
Road to RISD: Often described as Rhode Island's most famous New York artist, Merkin followed a post-undergrad stint as a guard at the Museum of Modern Art with a year at Michigan State, then a full graduate scholarship to RISD. He accepted a teaching fellowship at RISD the year he graduated, in part because he was intent on building his reputation outside of New York. Two years later, after a solo show in Boston, he settled in New York and continued his love affair with Rhode Island and RISD for over 40 years via a weekly teaching commute.
This painting depicts a baseball pitcher with various vignettes around him: a windmill, a tree, a ship, a figure with a cane, a kitchen scene and a man with a hat and mustache.
