MID CENTURY MODERN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST PAINTING
"Untitled", Faye Franklin, American, b. 1921. Oil on canvas. 52" x 25". Artist's frame. Sold
Chicago artist Faye Franklin, 90, created this great Abstract Expressionist painting in the mid century years of the 1960's to the1970's. It 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 wash areas & background blending of dark green, ochre, browns, reddish pinks & blue are energized by the white gestural lines. It's all grounded then at the bottom with a richly blended white area that shows the blue and ochre beneath. A fantastic addition to any modern home or office art collection.
