Daniel Buckler (British-American, b. 1945) Mid-Century Abstract Watercolor

Regular price $135.00

I knew nothing about Daniel Buckler when I purchased this and a second piece by him at Brimfield; this watercolor is unsigned, but the second I've listed today was signed-- I just found them beautiful paintings that surprised and rather disarmed me, feeling as if having magically emerged from the ether, just right. I've since learned that he's a known artist, with a fair bit of work out there, though I must say no paintings I like as much as the two I bought. From what I've learned he was born in England in 1945, attended the Royal Academy of Art, worked as a professional soccer player, actor and model among other things, then moved to the US in 1974, living first in NYC and later in New Hope, PA and in New Jersey, where he kept a large studio in the basement of a large Victorian home. And, apparently, he sold work to David Bowie and Pier Paolo Pasolini, among others. 

I believe this watercolor likely dates to the 1970s based on other works that I have looked at.  Feels like no words needed, just feels wonderfully loose and also completely resolved to me, a very lovely thing. 11 1/2" x 9" and in good condition.
