Vintage 1966 Joan Kearns'LINCOLN PARK ZOO' Chicago FOLK ART Naive Oil Painting
This is just a great original piece. I acquired a small collection of paintings by Joan Kearns. Ms Kearns was not a listed artist but rather a part time artist. I have found her obituary and it reads, Joan was a graduate, and former Board member, of Francis W. Parker, Bennington College and the Harvard Business School. Joan was the owner/CEO of a major Consulting firm, an active member of the Harvard Club, the Art Institute of Chicago and an avid supporter of the Lincoln Park Zoo. I think this makes sense as to why 2 of her paintings are wonderful landmarks of Chicago including the Lincoln Park Zoo, and a view of the city from Clark Street. This is really a wonderful painting. Done in a classic mid 20th Century style of folk art. A wonderful large oil on canvas measuring 24 x 34 inches. Signed and dated lower right. An outstanding image of the entrance to the zoo on a beautiful summer day with hundreds of people among the grounds. The wonderful Landmark Cafe pavillion stands right center with the red roofs. Really just a wonderful painting. It is in perfect as painted condition as it seems as though it has been in a frame with glass since it was painted. Actually, the back of the frame has an original Newcomb Macklin frame sticker. Just a wonderful presentation of this outstanding mid century folk art painting. Frame measures 25 1/2 x 35 1/4 inches. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. If you have any questions regarding the work, please dont hesitate to ask. Pictures are an excellent indication of condition.

MR. IMAGINATION Chicago Afro-Amer. Folk Visionary Paint Brush Ancient King/1994
This example of MR. IMAGINATION’s work is a paint brush turned into a King. He developed a mix of paper marche and plaster to shape his heads and he collected discarded objects of all manner to embellish his creations. This brush is 12″ tall/ the head IS 6″ tall. It is signed and dated 1994. He even made a wire hanging hook on the rear of the brush face. IMAGINATION was born Greg Warmack in 1948 in Chicago (and passed away in Atlanta in 2012). After being shot in the head during a mugging, he was many months recovering from a coma. He had out of body experiences where he traveled and lived in ancient Egypt and other mystical lands. When he awoke and recovered, he renamed himself Mr. Imagination and began working as an artist with old discarded objects such as industrial cast off sand stone, stiff paint brushes, discarded mirrors, chairs. He used bottlecaps as shimmering surfaces to many of his enormous creations. Hi works can be found at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, the Halle Sainte Pierre in Paris, and Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art in Chicago, as well as installations at House of Blues locations in Chicago, Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla. And numerous private collections. The item “MR. IMAGINATION Chicago Afro-Amer. Folk Visionary Paint Brush Ancient King/1994″ is in sale since Thursday, August 9, 2018.

OLD ANTIQUE Primitive Fine Folk Art OIL PAINTING of CHICAGO in 1832 artwork
Up for sale here is very interesting, antique, circa late 1890s to about 1915 framed oil painting on canvas by an unknown artist. The title of this painting is “Chicago 1832″ This fine oil painting is being offered in its original Arts and Crafts style antique solid wood black painted frame. The size of the oil painting only comes to 22 inches high by 36 inches across and with the frame 27 1/2 inches by 41 1/2 inches. There is no artist signature on the front or the back from what we can see. This painting was part of the collection that once belonged to the Evanston Historical Society located in Evanston, ILL the suburb directly attached to Chicago’s most North and East City limit. It was donated back to the Historical Society back in 1955 which you can see on the back but it does not have the Historical Societies name on it. This painting is going to require an extensive restoration and cleaning. This painting appears to have been stored in an attic in a very warm and dry environment. The entire surface of the painting has an even fine paint crackling. There is a three inch tear in the bottom center. The canvas is also worn and coming loose along the bottom edge of the painting where it meets the frame’s edge but it is not water damaged or stained. There is also a 1/2 inch tear in the canvas in the right center and another 1 1/2 inch tear near the largest tear pictured. There are a few fine paint scratches to the surface of which most would lighten up or disappear once the painting was cleaned and re-varnished. This is a wonderful piece of antique folk art.
