Donald Hugo Stoltenberg Abstract Oil Painting, Round Blue Cityscape 1963

Description: A nice abstract oil painting by American artist Donald Hugo Stoltenberg (1927-2016). Stoltenberg was born in Milwaukee, WI, attended public grade school in Chicago, and High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Design Art from the Institute of Design of the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1953. Upon graduation, he took a position as graphic designer working under famed illustrator and industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Following a relocation to Boston in 1954, he worked as a graphic designer at Container Corporation of America. In 1960, he set up an art studio on Commercial Wharf, a former fishing pier on the Boston waterfront where he became a full-time painter. This location would inspire his lifelong love for and dedication to marine art, with a focus on both sailing and steam powered coastal and ocean vessels, most notably, the classic ocean liners of the 20th century. For the next decade he would focus on honing his craft, painting a variety of subjects, nautical and otherwise, in an abstract expressionist style. In 1962, Stoltenberg was named Visiting Critic for the famed Rhode Island School of Design. From 1957-1974, he taught collography at the noted DeCordova Museum School in Lincoln, Massachusetts, specializing in oil painting, watercolor and printmaking technique. He simultaneously taught printmaking at the Castle Hill Center in Truro, Massachusetts and the Falmouth Artists Guild on Cape Cod. He also taught printmaking and drawing at the Cape Cod Conservatory of Music and Art. In 1975 he authored two educational texts, Collagraph Printmaking and The Artist and the Built Environment, both published by Davis Publications of Worcester, Massachusetts. During this period he also tutored art students privately at a custom-built studio attached to his 1860 Cape Cod summer home. He moved to this location permanently in 1967. His works are included among the permanent collections of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Public Library, the Addison Gallery of American Art, the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art, the DeCordova Museum, the Art Complex at Duxbury, the Episcopal Theological School of Harvard University, the MIT Sloan School of Management, the First National Bank of Boston, the State Street Bank of Boston, the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Co, the Massachusetts Port Authority, the Cabot Corporation, ISM, the Frye Art Museum of Seattle, the College Board Collection of Prints by American Artists, the Readers Digest, P&O Cruise line; NCL Cruise Line, Cunard Line as well as numerous private collections.Oil on canvas, signed and dated 63 lower left, dated and titled on verso Kanegis Gallery (Boston MA) label “Round Blue Cityscape,” and housed in a simple gilt wooden floating frame.
