Howard Behrens ‘Amalfi Sunset’ Heavily Embellished Numbered / Signed 2006

Description: Image size: 16x27” From the original edition of 2006. I can’t read the number, I believe it says 109/195. Signed by the artist. Please see photo 5, there appears to be some gray streaks, not sure if dust or the process to make it just left out a bit of color. Frame has a few tiny scratches. Behrens was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1933. He grew up near Washington D.C. and began drawing at age seventeen after being confined to bed following a sledding accident. His formal education in art was at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he earned a Masters degree in painting and sculpture. From 1964 to 1981, Behrens worked for the United States Government Printing Office, serving as Chief Artist for ten years. During the 17 years he worked for the government, he devoted his free time to painting. Weekends, nights, vacation days, if he wasn't painting, he was traveling extensively. From the sun-drenched coastal areas of the United States to the lush, tropical areas of the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico, to the seductive warmth of the Italian Riviera, southern France and the Mediterranean, Behrens finds his inspiration in the beauty of the places he travels. Although he's best known for his dramatic use of vivid colors, that capture the brilliance of direct sunlight on canvas. It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Howard Behrens on April 14, 2014. As an artist, he touched the hearts and souls of countless collectors who cherished his extraordinary talent.
