1281 - Rolph Scarlett (Canadian, 1889-1984). Gouache on paper painting depicting fragmented human-like figures. Featuring an atmospheric background of smoky gray, pink, and blue with intricate, abstract black linework. Signed along the lower right. Born on June 13, 1889 in Guelph, Canada, and into an artistic family, Rolph Scarlett spent his teenage years as an apprentice in his uncle’s jewelry firm and briefly studied at the Art Students League, New York. While working in the jewelry industry, Scarlett found time to paint and design theatrical sets in his free time. In 1923, while on a business trip to Switzerland, Scarlett had met the artist Paul Klee and soon after abandoned his figurative painting style in favor of an abstract language that suggested more universal, cosmic truths.
