Richard Rosenfeld (American, b. 1945)

Untitled (Lounging Nude), 1976. Mixed media drawing on paper. Signed and dated on the lower left, "Richard Rosenfeld '76". 23 1/2 x 18 in. (59.7 x 45.7 cm) Notes: Richard Rosenfeld is a veteran fashion illustrator and educator in the United States. Rosenfeld began his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and graduated from Parsons School of Design, New York, in 1967. He established himself within the American fashion industry, producing illustrations for Vogue, Women’s Wear Daily, The New York Times, Mademoiselle and Glamour magazine, in addition to commissions for major department stores. Parallel to his fashion illustration and teaching career, Rosenfeld produced an extensive body of male figurative and homoerotic art. Beginning in the late 1970s, his work appeared in gay men’s publications such as Honcho, Mandate, and Playguy. Working primarily from live models in varying states of undress, Rosenfeld combines colored pencils, pastels, and watercolors rough sketched on vellum paper. His figural studies have been praised for their immediacy which recall the psychologically charged draftsmanship of Egon Schiele.
