Robert Cox, large oil painting framed original signed, antique

  

American artist Robert Cox studied at the Katharine Gibbs School of Art. In 1956 he joined Mayhew Peakes as a graphic designer, and resigned six years later to move from New Jersey to California. Robert Cox's paintings were primarily brightly colored floral stills that were created using a palette knife. Cox paid special attention to natural light and shadow, especially on the petals and leaves of his pieces. Because he believed that everyone should have access to art and enjoy its beauty, prices for Robert Cox paintings were low to make them affordable for all art lovers.

Artist Robert Cox lived a relatively quiet personal life, but professionally he went on to help found the Art Worker's Coalition.
