About the Item

A great early date for this artist where he was coming out of the origins of expressionist and fauve works of art. A unique composition depicting a woman setting out a table laden with fruit and breakfast food amongst flowers and striped mats - all abstracted. He uses an interesting technique of applying color and then rubbing it off with a cloth to create luminous blocks of washy color. The verticality of the composition and placement of the woman at the top of the composition is a Bonnard-esque approach to another influence of Japonaisism. A dynamic and interesting work that will enliven any room. The frame is Heydenrick hand carved frame of value, very sought after in the market. The artist resided in Connecticut all his life and moved stylistically to a few different manners of painting - including Barbizon feeling works and impressionism.
