Item Description

At the heyday of Abstract Expressionism, Alvin Ross was an anomaly. His precise, finely-wrought still life paintings, done on a small scale, were the antithesis of the large, impetuously brushed evocations of the Expressionist vein rampaging around him.


Ross was a thoughtful artist, and was an historian as well as a student of art. His frequent trips abroad confirmed his sense of the past and his use of realism in a period dominated by abstraction in art.


Ross was one of the few artists elected president of the Provincetown Art Association, and unfortunately passed away at the height of his powers.
