Original painting by Gerard Fortune. Canvas size without frame is 40 x 24 inches. Frame size is 44 3/8 x 27 1/2 inches. Man with young boy in matching blue fashionable suits and shoes. Surrounded by flowers against a yellow background. Both are wearing matching black shoes. Vintage lived with condition, the canvas painting is intact. NOTE: The gold paint on frame at top is worn from storage and age. Gold paint that’s been chipped off has been touched up with acrylic paint. BEING THAT THE CHIPPED PAINT ON TOP OF FRAME IT’S NOT VISIBLE WHEN IT’S HUNG. Signature is on left lower front side. “Gerard” with black paint. Looks like acrylic but may be oil on CANVAS. The frame is the original frame Gerard and his dealer in Haiti placed on it. Oil painting on CANVAS by known Haitian prolific artist Gerard Fortune. This piece has been in Mr. Lawerences primitive art collection for over 30 years. I uploaded a photo of Mr. Lawrence (left), Gerard Fortune (center) and another artist (right) Jordon Meinster. Lawrence Roseman, owner of painting, said it was common for Gerard to paint friends. Associates and workers daily for his subjects. From the collection of retired gallerist and rug/textile dealer. Who worked directly with Gerard Fortune in Port-au-Prince during 1980’s. Gerard worked as a private cook in a home, and restaurant. By 1981 he was no longer working as a cook. He worked directly with Gallery Issa, a Palestinian gallerist who supplied Gerard with a studio to paint in. Gerard was prolific averaging 2 paintings a day. Gerards exact age is unknown, but Roseman believes he was born 1925, although some believe 1934-5. Roseman said Gerard was turning out his naive folk art in late 70’s and eventually formed an association with Gallery Issa by 1981. Gerard would come to Issas gallery with a stack of masonite boards and paint on the ground floor garage on his knees. He’d keep a copy of his signature so he could duplicate it because he didn’t know how to read or write. Works are in museum collections. Write ups in Art’s and Antiques Magazine. Listed in several Haitian Art Books. THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH FASTTAPDANCER.

No signature can be found on this painting and it is in original, as found condition with a soiled varnish layer but no apparent losses to paint surface, aside from three small scratches in upper third. A good representation of one of Roseland’s most famous subjects (“Mixing The Love Potion”) probably from the early 1900’s. Through the publication of “Sunday supplement” prints, Roseland’s genre work in this series became very well known and reached thousands of home viewers, inspiring imitation by many amateur artists. This is one such work. I have owned and enjoyed this work for more than thirty years and now offer it for sale for the first time. Here is a chance to own a very collectible piece of American folk art on a small budget. More detailed photos can be provided. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE ANTIQUES, FINE ART, COLLECTIBLES!
