Fred Van Ormer 2003 Signed Oil Color Pattern Painting Flower & 3 Lemons 12x16Fred Van Ormer , oil painting of what appears to be a flower and three lemons on canvas, signed in the lower right, signed and dated June 19, 2003 on the back, 12 by 16 inches, unframed, in excellent condition.According to the biography on the Internet site of the gallery that sells Van Ormer's work, Fred Van Ormer was born in South Dakota in 1927 and died in 2004. He went to Yankton College, served in the Korean War, and went to art school in Chicago. He worked as an interior designer in St. Louis before moving to San Francisco in 1954 and later to San Diego in 2000. Van Ormer worked in the design world for many years but painted full time for the last thirty years of his life. His exuberant paintings are full of unusual color combination and complex patterns with flowers as the primary focal point. He was strongly influenced by Mattise. He painted and showed his work at Charleston Farmhouse in England which was the gathering place for the Bloomsbury painters who loved patterns similar to the image of Van Ormer. His colors, however, reflect California sunshine as compared to the muted colors of the English painters.Fred Van Ormer had his first one-man show at Merline's in San Francisco in 1983 and had 28 one-man shows before his death.
