"Lair", Faye Franklin, American, b. 1921. Oil on linen. 28" x 42". Artist's frame. Sold
Chicago artist Faye Franklin, 90, created this Abstract Expressionist painting in the mid century years of the 1960's to the1970's. It's entitled "Lair", and was exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute's "Art Rental" exhibition that ran from 1969 until it's closing in the 1980's. It's color palette of warm browns, yellows, blue, greens, black and white are deftly layered and blended. The brush strokes in the lower center area are energetic and active as well as allowing some impasto build up. Artist self framed in simple wood slats that have aged very nicely. This painting would complement any mid century modern home or art collection!
