Authentic and Large Signed Original Pastel & Charcoal Portrait Painting
Rare
Signed & Dated in his signature Roman numerals
c. 11/17/1975
This is a remarkable and daring pastel and charcoal-on-paper painting by SC Schoneberg. It is an unusually beautiful and difficult-to-find example of his finest work. This was done in his studio in the Presidio, San Francisco, in 1975. Schoneberg was fluent in French, thus the title Les Girls. His subjects were often from the San Francisco Models Guild.
As an artist, Schoneberg is renowned for his brilliant use of color, thick texture, and expressive passion, among other artistic qualities evident in his work. Yet, of all these masterpieces, his most desired images are often intricate female portrait renderings like the one here, which gives the viewer a sneak peek at his rare vision, values, and desires. Shoneberg's art has been exhibited in major museums worldwide and is found in some of the most prestigious public and private art collections. He is well known for his sumptuous pastels of female nudes, flowered women, exotic gypsies, costumed musicians, vagabonds, and lovable young women and children in all their youthful glory.
ARTIST:
During his extensive studies between Chicago and California, Schoneberg developed a style acclaimed by art collectors and critics worldwide. His art has been so well received that it has been featured in many one-man shows/exhibitions and museums, such as the Denver Art Museum, the National Mexico Museum, and the American Academy of Art in Paris.
