Early Work by Richard Schmid





The above image is from the current issue of Illustration Magazine. Schmid's artwork accompanies part two of an excellent article on The American Academy of Art by Aron Gagliardo.

Hi, Matthew. When is the above work by Schmid dated? It seems unlikely that it was the 1940s, since Schmid was born in 1934.

Diane- I'm not sure of the dates. I'm guessing they were done when Richard was a student of Mosby. I laughed too when I saw the "circa 1940" caption on the AAA ad!

I might not have noticed, but I came across this painting in the Christie's "American Paintings" sale.

So, I was thinking about early Schmids.
