"Ascending Betrayal" (1985), acrylic on canvas, 66 x 179"
|
William Scharf (b. 1927)
William Scharf was strongly influenced by the color field paintings of Mark Rothko, by the abstract expressionist style dominant
in New York City in the 1950s, and by the expressive, organic forms of surrealist painter Arshile Gorky. Scharf apprenticed
with Rothko and for many years spent summers working in a River Street studio in Savannah, where Ascending Betrayal was completed.
