James L. Bruch Signed Abstract Oil on Canvas Painting

An oil on canvas painting by the American artist James L. Bruch (1942-2023). Signed verso, black, white, and gray converge forming a figural silhouette in bright red, orange, and green attire against a yellow background. A green, yellow, and black geometric pattern borders the top of the composition. Estate stamped to the verso, the painting is displayed in a black frame. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, James Bruch (1942-2023) pursued his artistic talents at the University of Notre Dame, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1964. Thereafter, he received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California in 1967. While in school, Bruch focused his attention on painting bright scenes and recreating masterworks in pencil. From the ‘70s-’90s, he built his advertising career, garnering recognition for his efforts along the way. Upon retirement, Bruch immediately returned to decades-old ideas of colorful abstraction, which he had reimagined throughout his lifetime
