Japanese Warrior Portrait by Donald (D.S) Shreves

The portrait of this fierce Japanese man communicates a strong feeling of honor and respect, reinforced by him holding a sword. The impressionist style of this oil painting adds layers of intertwined lights and shadows to the scene.
Schreve (1918-1993) was born in Nebraska and started out painting at an early age doing caricatures of family and friends.
He studied in Denver and Chicago and attended workshops at the Grande Chaumier in Paris and the Instituto in San Meguel De Allende, Mexico. His subject matter varies greatly, he is perhaps best known for his highly personal interpretations from imagination and memory of this vicinity.
