Original Black Americana Folk Art Naive Painting. Woman Dreaming On Picket Fence

Posted on June 10, 2017 by admin

For sale is an outstanding early 20th century black Americana naïve folk art style oil painting. From a Maryland Private estate. One “gets” this painting almost immediately when viewing it. The woman stands against the country picket fence looking up towards the sky while wearing her Sunday best black and white checkered dress. Her mind wondering off, dreaming of a better life. Perhaps she is thinking about being an actress or a singer in a hopping jazz club somewhere in New York or Chicago. Or a dancer touring the world with a dance troupe visiting Paris and the other major European cities that she only reads about in books and newspapers. She may just be dreaming of a little simpler life not consumed with the daily rugged chores of living on a rural farm which consists of work from sun up until sundown. You can tell that while content with her simple life on a southern farm she hopes and dreams for so much more for herself. In her eyes you can see this dream may never come to be. But she dreams the dream. On the porch either a husband or one of her children leisurely strums a tune on the banjo. Two ducks seem to enjoy her company by the picket fence in the foreground. This painting is signed in the lower right corner. Like many Black Americana paintings the artist cannot be found in our research. This painting is oil on hard stock paper board. It appears to be dated on the reverse either 4/3/11, or 4/23/41. We cannot tell accurately. Please see the close-up detail picture for consideration. Condition: The painting being in overall good condition for age. Some yellowing of the surface varnish but over all good for age. Some small areas of paint surface lost on the outer edges near the frame contact area. The frame having age-appropriate wear with numerous layers of built-up varnish coatings. Framed – 18 1/2″ x 14 1/2″. Painting – 15 7/8″ x 11 7/8″. The item “Original Black Americana Folk Art Naive Painting. Woman Dreaming On Picket Fence” is in sale since Friday, June 09, 2017.
