This is a fantastic and unusual oil painting on canvas, created by the very talented artist HY Vogel. This stunning artwork is a unique and extraordinary example of Vogel’s genius contemporary style painting. Peculiar and eye-catching, it is a depiction of a clown dressed with an officer’s hat playing a trumpet. Using a finely painted basic chocolate color for the background, Vogel has expertly contrasted that with the bright colors of the clown, thus bringing the viewer’s attention forward to where the clown officer captivates the audience. Using thick brush strokes, striking and vibrant colors for the clown, he has achieved remarkable color and compositional balance in this extraordinary painting. With a modern approach, Vogel has developed superb details among all parts of the clown and instrument, making this a fabulous piece that is worthy for any fine art collection.

This wonderfully fluid composition is complimented perfectly by a gorgeous chestnut wood frame that is detailed with an ornate outer edge. The expertly crafted frame adds definition to the painting and gives it a sophisticated and modern presentation. It is truly a marvelous, affordably priced piece by a locally renowned artist that would be a unique and eye-catching addition to any collection of attractive art.

HY Vogel was a successful 20^th century mixed media artist from the Detroit, MI area who specialized in portraits of movie stars and the famous elite. This local artist was most popular during the 1950’s-60’s era, and was best known for creating caricatures for one of Detroit’s most legendary restaurants, The London Chophouse. His portfolio of the prominent elite features Gary Cooper, Tallulah Bankhead, and Jimmy Durante. Other amazing works by Vogel include, Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Hebert Marshall, and Alfred Hitchcock. The price, $ for this piece is an excellent one for an artist of this quality.
