Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Herman Cherry American, (1909 - 1992) Tricolor, 1958 oil on paper Signed and dated lower left. Provenance: Luise Ross Gallery, NY, NY Biography from the Archives of askART: The following is submitted by Robert S. April, MD, a friend of the artist: Herman Cherry lived in Woodstock, New York during the summers of 1960-65, where he rented a cottage in Byrdcliffe Colony and taught selected students in "the Barn". He lived in this colony of artists that included members of the Art Students League, which had a summer school in Woodstock, and had many friends, including Eva Hesse and Tom Doyle. In 1976, he was invited to be a visiting teacher in Germany, and there met Regina Kramer, a photographer, whom he married and brought back to New York. In 1970, he bought a house and land in East Hampton, New York and there had a studio where he painted actively until his death in 1992. A remarkable quality was his persistent optimism and devotion to painting and art. He worked endlessly during his last years, maintaining all his faculties in the face of a chronic, debilitating illness. His impish idealism and innocence was always attractive to those who met him for the first time as well as to those who knew and loved him for years. He was truly a most unforgettable character and a man of remarkable personal integrity.
