Michael Rosenthal (American, b. 1946, California)
Tahiti Beach — St. Tropez, 2005
Oil on canvas
11 × 8 in.
Rosenthal studied at CalArts in the 1970s with John Baldessari, Allan Kaprow, and Nam June Paik. He ran Michael Rosenthal Contemporary Art gallery in San Francisco.
On the beach in St. Tropez. Rosenthal traveled to France to paint en plein air, and this small canvas carries the Mediterranean light — warm sand, blue water, figures at leisure. Painted on location with the speed that plein air demands. The California Society of Six would have recognized this approach: get the color down while the light holds.
