For your consideration is this original framed, oil on canvas done by renowned artist Jorge Braun Andres Tarallo (1951-Present). Jorge Andres Tarallo was born in 1951 in Montevideo, Uruguay where he studied at the National Arts School under the direction of the well-known artists Riveiro and Garino. In 1972, he came to the US to begin his career as a painter. Critics frequently comment on a Rembrandt influence in his landscapes and seascapes, but Braun describes himself as an impressionist painter concerned with realism. Braun paints the majestic southwest of America and faithfully renders the local Native Americans whose culture has always been intrinsically woven into the land. His Love of the land imparts to paintings a magical light which he captures in them lifts the viewer to the lofty heights he portrays. In all of his paintings there is a feeling of moisture, depicting the time around sunset when the twilight and dew of evening cling to the land melting into the atmosphere. The piece shows a side profile portrait of an old Native American man looking into the distance, while he wears a large headdress made of wood and feathers. With his wrinkled skin and stoic look, the man has clearly lived long enough to gain wisdom and respect, and Jorge Braun's attention to detail shows it in drastic detail. The light yellow background gives amazing contrast to the darker colors used in the portrait, showing Jorge Braun's talent in color selection. The art is signed on the bottom left hand corner reading, "Braun". This piece would make a fine addition to any collection. The frame and art show good condition with no signs of damage or wear present. The art measures 29 1/2" L x 23 1/2" W. The entire piece measures 37" L x 31" W.
