Theodoros S Stamos (American, 1922 - 1997) abstract expressionist oil painting on canvas. Signed by the artist on the lower left. Unframed.Note: The son of Greek immigrants, Theodoros Stamos was a first-generation member of the influential New York School of modern artists. The youngest of that cohort of Abstract Expressionists—which included Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko—Stamos was a devoted practitioner who continued to explore shape and color into the movement’s maturation in the second half of the twentieth century. Unlike many Abstract Expressionists who took an improvisational approach to their compositions and execution, Stamos always carefully controlled his painting, harnessing what he believed to be an artist’s “spiritual power, which communicates life and meaning to material form.”
