Sherrod’s pulsating style has been linked to Vincent Van Gogh and Chaim Soutine, artists who pioneered the personalized, expressive brushstroke. Sherrod’s lively and unfiltered psychic outpourings give the viewer direct access to the eyes through which Sherrod sees the world we inhabit. Sherrod was born in 1935 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. He received a BA in painting in 1959 from the Oklahoma State University and attended the Art Students League in the early 1960s. He is the recipient of several awards including a National Endowment for the Arts Grant in 1982 and a Pollock-Krasner Grant in 1989. His works are held in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C., the Museum of the City of New York, the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, among others. less DIMENSIONS 22ʺW × 1ʺD × 18ʺH STYLES AmericanExpressionismFolk Art ART SUBJECTS FigurePortrait FRAME TYPE Framed PERIOD 1970s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN United States ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS Oil Paint CONDITION Good Condition, Some Imperfections COLOR Yellow TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES Works are in good overall condition.
