A magnificent and rare painting has been found: "Adam Receives Divine Creative Inspiration", 72 X 54", is one of the earliest and largest paintings by Vance A. Larson, who at the time of composition (1970-73) was first at the Paier School of Art and then the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. At that time he signed his paintings "Eric Van Larson." This painting was recently acquired from the estate of a Russian diplomat in Washington DC, by Brendan Bahr of Alexandria, Virginia. The man in the Earth is a self portrait of Vance.
Beautiful! Was he inspired by Dali in this piece, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI don't recall that he ever said that. This painting to me looks like Vance's view of humanity creating their realm on Earth. He believed in the creative spirit.
