Though very little is known about the artist—the work is a resounding success. It's sublime and enigmatic. Cadmium yellow is evenly applied with a palette knife to form the ground that frames the subject which is a concentic cluster of rings encircling a white shell (not yolk, as it's in reverse). The dappled impasto application of the paint here contrasts with the evenly applied groundwork.

One cannot see a work like this and not think of the visionary work by Forrest Bess which was being done at the same time.

Treubel lived in upstate New York and worked for the Eclipse Machine Company. His name appears in some art related newspaper clippings from the 60s (part of the "Wet Paints Studio Group,") but additional works by him remain elusive.
