Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Larry Scharmett
Larry Scharmett, though perhaps not a household name, occupies a fascinating niche in the world of post-war American art. Born in 1928, Scharmett's artistic journey began in the vibrant atmosphere of New York City, where he absorbed the influences of Abstract Expressionism while forging his own distinct path. Eschewing the grand scale and gestural drama of some of his contemporaries, Scharmett instead focused on intimate compositions and a meticulous exploration of colour and form. His paintings, often described as lyrical abstractions, invite viewers into a world of subtle harmonies and quiet contemplation. Scharmett’s work often features arrangements of geometric shapes and organic forms, rendered in a palette of muted tones and carefully modulated hues. While his paintings resist easy interpretation, they evoke a sense of balance and order, reflecting Scharmett's deep engagement with the principles of design. Scharmett exhibited steadily throughout his career, primarily in New York and the surrounding region, and his works can be found in numerous private and public collections. Though Scharmett's name may not be as widely recognised as some of his Abstract Expressionist peers, his work offers a compelling example of the diverse and multifaceted nature of the movement. His dedication to quiet experimentation and his unique vision make him a figure ripe for rediscovery by a new generation of art enthusiasts. His pieces bring a sense of calm and sophistication to any space.
