Provincetown Artist Romanos Rizk Abstract Pastel TAO Series

Description: This ad is for Provincetown Artist Romanos Rizk (1927 - 2013) Abstract Pastel from the “One with the TAO” Series of Art. About the Artist: Romanos Rizk (1927 - 2013) was active and lived in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He was known for abstract and realist still life, landscape, seascape, mixed-media and collage painting. He was a prominent and longstanding Provincetown artist for 40 years. He enjoyed an international reputation, with the accolades of museums and corporate collectors for his striking, large abstract canvases inspired by the Zen philosophy “One with the Tao”. Born of Lebanese parents in Providence, RI, Rizk moved to Provincetown where he, classically trained and established his own unique style of Abstraction. His success and special place within that genre is attested to by numerous museum invitationals and acquisitions. When Rizk first came to Provincetown, he studied with Henry Hensche at his Cape Cod School of Impressionism, and on the Cape, worked in a restaurant while painting on the side. He soon realized his heart required him to paint full time, and he was convinced that by dedicating his entire efforts to his art, his works would sell. In addition to his abstracts, he also produced exquisite still lifes, impressionist landscapes and seascapes of Cape Cod, along with mixed media pieces. Romanos Rizk became an active player in helping keep Provincetown the art center, which helped shape American culture, and the go-to place for thousands of beach lovers, art lovers, actors, writers and musicians who discover new ideas to broaden their perspectives. Romanos was a long time active member of the famed Provincetown Art Association. He died in 2013 at the age of 81. A scholarship in his honor was created by the Provincetown Art Association and Museum for training for future generations of artists.
