- - - | Rolph Scarlett modern abstract watercolor on paper. Item # 4926 Click HERE to inquire about this item Rolph Scarlett modern abstract watercolor on paper. Born 1889 Died 1984. Measures 11 and three quartes by 17 and one half inches.
Rolph Scarlett is an important painter of geometric abstractions during the
American avant-garde movement of the 1930s and 1940s.
Born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1889 he left at the age of 18 to go to
New York City and returned to Canada during the war years. But by 1924 he
established New York City as his home. While he was beginning his career as an abstract painter he was designing stages for George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman" and for the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
While in the process of creating the Museum of Non-Objective Painting (later
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum), in 1939 Solomon Guggenheim and HillaRebay began to take an interest in Scarlett's work. By 1940 he became the new museum's chief lecturer.
By 1953, the Guggenheim owned nearly sixty of his paintings and monoprints.
He later became a resident of the Woodstock art colony for more than
twenty-five years and showed his work in the Woodstock exhibits.
