Description: Here we have a fabulous original oil painting entitled "Vampscape II (Measured Ambiguities)" by Harry Bouras (American, Chicago, IL, 1932-1990.) Bouras was a true Chicagoan, an internationally noted artist, critic and teacher, and host of a popular weekly Chicago radio program on art criticism that ran for 25 years, until his retirement. According to local legend, Bouras inspired the name taken by one group of Chicago Imagists ("The Harry Who") when one of them mentioned having read a review by him, and another replied, "Harry Who?" Assemblages, sculptures and other works by Bouras can be found at MOMA and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. Please note that the last two photos show all of the works by Bouras that we have in our store, but this listing is just for the one described here.An original, one-of-a-kind oil paintingOil on canvasSigned "H Bouras" upper left Signed, titled, dated (August, 1986) and dedicated en versoHoused in simple DIY wood float frame, with wood slats tacked to the canvas frameAs a whole, the work measures approximately 25" x 21" x 1.5" Has typical light surface wear from display, as well as vertical lines of craquelure on the left, and a horizontal scuff on the lower left -- see photos highlighting theseShips well-packaged and fully-insured Shipping: The insurance cost alone for this package is $12.25.
