"On Guard" Vintage Abstract Expressionist Heavy Impasto Figure

Abstract expressionist figurative composition of a man in a button down shirt with a brimmed hat by California artist Harald "Harry" Dry Schmidt (American, 1933-1979). Harald was an eclectic San Francisco Abstract and Outsider artist from 1960-1990. Large areas of color blocking are accentuated by heavy texture. Detailed areas of the painting feature large ridges and the evidence of wet-on-wet painting techniques.
