Description
Guy Danella (NY, 1928-2006), ""Green Dragon"" oil on canvas, signed and dated 1967 at lower right, presented in the likely original frame.
SS 15.5 x 35.5 in.; DOA 24 x 44 in.
This painting was completed during the year of the Six-Day War and the escalation of the war in Vietnam. It references the German master war commentary ""The Green Table"" (1932), restaged by its choreographer Kurt Jooss in 1967, City Center Joffrey Ballet, New York. Danella began his early studies in Utica at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute. By the age of sixteen, in 1944, he had moved to NYC and enrolled at the Art Students League. While in NYC he befriended Alfred Stieglitz and John Marin. He later met and impressed Josef Albers, whose geometric abstractions and color studies greatly influenced Danella during the period this painting was completed. Danella went on to influence his own cadre of students, never setting the brush down himself.
