Robert Beauchamp (1923 – March 1995) was an American figurative painter
and arts educator. Beauchamp's paintings and drawings are known for
depicting dramatic creatures and figures with expressionistic colors.
His work was described in the New York Times as being "both frightening
and amusing,". Wikipedia
Beauchamp described his drawings as painterly, seeking the spontaneity in an image. He would develop a drawing then a painting, and vice versa. His heavily impastoed paintings, often described as sculptures themselves, came from the pouring of paint from a can, with little planning and constant evolution in the medium upon the canvas. He preferred little planning to his creations, believing that an artists work would become stale and repetitive with constant planning.Wikipedia
