Jan DeRuth Signed & Numbered Print Semi-Nude Woman 49/200 Rare Fine Art

“De Ruth, author of the books "Portrait Painting" and "Painting the Nude," has devoted his entire life to painting the female face and form. He enjoys special popularity as a portraitist and has become one of the best known painters of the nude female in the world today. Often asked why he concentrates on this most demanding of all art subjects he replies: . . . "Each painting of the nude becomes a new experience . . . It (the human figure) is nature's most perfect and most imperfect creation, communicating, even in silence and immobility, the physical and spiritual power-and frailty- of humanity."

Articulate, sophisticated, outspoken and well informed, De Ruth has also been a leading guest on radio and television shows. But, it is painting that gives a purpose to Jan De Ruth's existence.
