              DAVID A. LEFFEL "THE RIBBON SCARF" OIL ON CANVAS

              Est: -

              David A. Leffel (Born 1931) "The Ribbon Scarf" (Nina Gonzales) Oil on Canvas. Signed on lower right, along with title and signature on reverse. Born and raised in New York City, David Leffel is a painter in the style of early Dutch and Flemish painters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt. Following high school graduation, Leffel attended Parsons School of Design and Fordham University and worked odd jobs in California and New York. He enrolled in the Art Students League in New York, and eventually taught there for 20 years. In the 1970s, he took illustration jobs to make money and, having returned full time to his own painting, moved in 1992 to Taos, New Mexico with his partner, Sherrie McGraw, also an artist. Leffel's work reflects a personal belief that a painting must convey a sense of mystery and beauty. Throughout the interplay of light and shadow, through texture and shape and color, Leffel transforms the simple and ubiquitous objects of everyday life into rich creations of enigma and presence. He has earned a considerable number of awards since 1963, including the Gold Medal for Oil from the National Academy of Western Art. His works are held in numerous private collections as well as institutes such as the J.B. Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky, and Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. Artist: David A.

              David A. Leffel (American, b. 1931) Wild Horses, 2013 oil on canvas signed DAL (lower right) 12 x 20 inches Provenance: Donated by the artist David Leffel's beautiful oil, Wild Horses, is reminiscent of the early Hudson River School, and Asher Durand in particular. It also recalls Worthington Whittredge's paintings of the Western Plains in the Civil War era. Leffel finds his inspiration in the painting of the Dutch Golden Age, in Rembrandt and Vermeer, but here the wildness is Western, as the three white horses, lit by a break in the clouds, move away from the fences, towards the wild gray weather that looms at left. -James D.

              Est: $5,000 - $8,000

              DAVID A. LEFFEL (american b. 1931) "SELF-PORTRAIT" Signed and dated 'Dal/68' bottom right, oil on canvas 42 1/8 x 33 3/16 in. (107 x 84.3cm) provenance: The Estate of Walter McDaniel, Pennsylvania. exhibited: "Rendezvous," The Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma, April 28-July 9, 1995. literature: David A. Leffel, Self-Portraits: A Visual Journey of Insight, Bright Light Publishing, El Prado, New Mexico, 2009, p. 82 (illustrated). note: This self-portrait was completed at a time when David Leffel had difficulty finishing paintings and was considering giving up. The artist vividly recalls the genesis of this painting: "One day my eye, casting around the studio in desperation seeking any kind of succor, happened on this painting. I had started it some time before and had abandoned it, when, once again, my interest in painting had waned. Regarding it almost as a swan song, I thought to go out in a blaze of desperation- I would put as much paint on the canvas as I could: gobs and slathers of it. Almost before I had time to take in what was happening, I was having great fun. I was using paint in a new way with more paint than even before, and it had triggered a breakthrough. I could not get enough paint on the canvas. The joy had returned-I didn't have to get a job! I was manipulating paint and making it stand for skin and hair and scarf; it was as though I had a magic brush in my hand. I felt I reached a new plateau."
