Guy Danella (NY, 1928-2006), ""Psyche Cycle #1"" oil on canvas, signed at lower right and dated 1958, signed and titled on the verso, framed.
DOA 21 x 20.75 in.
Danella painted this work as a Modernist homage to the first panel, ""Cupid in Flight is Struck by the Beauty of Psyche,"" of the monumental 1908 decorative ensemble of Maurice Denis, The Story of Psyche cycle housed at The Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia. 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.
