Richard Turner (1935-2012)
A High Wind (Circa 1975)
Signed lower left front and verso 'Turner' with the title 'A High Wind.' Displayed in frame made by the artist. Richard Turner was an enigmatic artist and antique dealer who lived his entire life on the family farm near Greenridge, Missouri, but for the time he spent at The Kansas City Art Institute off-and on throughout the 1970s, after which he produced a series of abstract compositions - including the painting offered here. He wouldn't paint again for forty years, when in the early 21st century he suddenly began producing skillfully rendered, impressionist landscapes of rural Missouri scenes. Examples of these compositions are included in this catalog as well.
Canvas measures 42 x 52, the frame is 48 x 53.5 inches.
Good original untouched condition. There are no major condition issues, apart from small paint splatter. There are no losses, no scratches, no punctures, no in-painting.
