About The Artwork

How would you like to have your paintings applauded by a nationally recognized artist, such as Aaron Bohrod?

He commented about Richard Grossenbach

"Richard Grossenback's strong sense of color and the verve of his painting together with the purposefulness of most of his endeavor sets him apart from the general run of painters who content themselves with the fashionable escapist mode of the moment. Observation and imagination are intermingled in his work and there are stirred together with a personal vision.

It would be indeed fortunate if this country had many more young painters of the vigor, independence and talent of Richard Grossenbach." 

I like the word "verve" because it fits!

About The Artist

Richard Grossenbach originated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, graduating from the University of Wisconsin. After having been injured in World War II, he became interested in drawing as part of his recooperation. This new interest prompted him to return to the University of Wisconsin to undertake formal art training. Following graduation he traveled to Paris, France to study at the Academie Julian.

Two solo exhibitions at the Chapellier Gallery in New York City (1952, 1953) were followed by years of painting portraits, still lifes and landscapes. In 1978 he and his wife claimed Scottsdale, Arizona as their new home base. Consequently, Mr. Grossenbach embraced subject matter reflecting his new Southwestern environs especially as he loved horseback riding.

His abstract expressionist paintings were reviewed favorably in The New Yorker magazine January 29, 1955.  Imagine showing your work in an exhibition featuring the work of Edward Hopper, Josef Albers and Hans Hofmann?  Aaron Bohrod commended Grossenbach's work from this period as well.
