VERSO
Label, Adamson-Duvannes Galleries, Los Angeles, California
Fechin biographer Forrest Fenn observed, “Fechin was primarily a painter of portraits, and his oil studies reveal the very deep-down character of his subjects. At times I thought it was arrogant of him to even attempt with a brush what, to him, must have been so easy. For example, on occasion, he would paint an impressionistic eye or lips that, when taken out of context, might not even be recognizable as such. Yet when viewed from a step back, the picture melded into a surprisingly beautiful composition. He used the subject’s hands to command the temperament and attitude of the painting. It was fun to cover the hands in his portraits and look at the paintings again to see their totally different personalities.”
