Charming Portrait of a Young Girl Folk Art Frame
Charming Portrait of a Young Girl Folk Art Frame. Presented in folk art frame. Guaranteed in all respects. This charming and somewhat haunting portrait is a fine example of American folk art, most likely from the mid-19th century. The subject is a young girl, rendered with the characteristic naïveté and directness of the genre. Her wide, almond-shaped eyes-calm and penetrating-stare out with an almost uncanny clarity, drawing the viewer into her silent world. She is dressed in a pale blue, empire-waist gown delicately adorned with white dot detailing, evocative of innocence and modest elegance. Her blond ringlets are carefully painted, and around her neck she wears a simple coral bead necklace, a popular adornment in children’s portraits of this era and a subtle signal of middle-class gentility. In her small hands, she clutches a vivid green posy, likely intended to symbolise youth, vitality, or hope. The background, in muted green with a stylised fleur-de-lis pattern, and the deep red of the chair behind her, provide a sombre contrast to her pale complexion and pastel attire. Surrounding the painting is an extraordinary frame-wooden with a decorative beaded design, almost sculptural in its presentation. The frame itself seems to echo the folk tradition, handmade and unapologetically ornamental, with swirling rows of brass studs adding rhythm and a touch of rustic drama. There is an intentional stillness to the composition that collectors of Americana and folk portraiture will recognise and admire. It speaks not only to the skill of the anonymous painter, but also to the cultural moment it captures-a time when portraiture served as both personal keepsake and social document. This piece would make a striking focal point in a collection devoted to early American art, childhood portraiture, or the vernacular traditions of the 1800s.

LEE GODIE original pen/ink drawing Portrait of Woman Chicago Outsider Artist
PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN by LEE GODIE. Ink and/or ballpoint pen on a “Canvasette” heavy duty artist board (see photos). My favorite outsider artist. I’ve collected several of her pieces over the years including the three paintings I bought from her when I was a student at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. I felt so lucky that she liked me and danced for me while unrolling her paintings for me to see. Her work carries a spirit of joy that makes me happy. I love you Lee Godie! Lee Godie born Jamot Emily Godee ; September 1, 1908 – March 2, 1994. Was an American self-taught artist who was active in Chicago. During the late 1960s until around the early 1990s. She was a prolific artist. Who was known for her paintings and modified photos which are shown in galleries and museums such as the Hayward Gallery in London and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She is often considered Chicago’s most collected artist. Godie was born in Chicago. She and her ten siblings were raised in a Christian Scientist. Her family lived in a small house on the Northwest side; she slept in the attic with her sisters. Lee Godie was notoriously wary of divulging personal information about herself. She was married twice and had four children. It was possible that she had once wanted to be a singer, but wasn’t allowed by one of her husbands. Following the death of two of her children, her life was transformed and Godie reinvented herself as an artist in Chicago. Godie remained in downtown Chicago for almost a 30-year period, becoming a facet of the social milieu during that time. Godie lived on the streets, sleeping outdoors or in transient hotels. She could be seen sleeping outdoors in sub-zero temperatures, on a concrete bench… Clutching her large black portfolio case. Godie had a unique fashion style and could be seen wearing different swatches of fabric wrapped around herself or fur coats that were pieced together. She also used her paint to transform her appearance, painting “big orange circles over each cheek” and painted-on eyeshadow. An article about Godie in the Wall Street Journal alerted one of her daughters, Bonnie Blank, to where she was living. Blank had not seen her mother since she was 3 years old. When Godie met her daughter, she insisted that Blank have art lessons, which she herself provided. In 1991, Blank was granted legal guardianship of her mother, who was suffering from dementia. And she moved her to a nursing home near Plano, Illinois. Beginning in 1968, Godie could be seen on the steps of the Art Institute of Chicago. She later moved to a location on the North Side of Chicago after a disagreement with a curator. Godie was a self-styled French Impressionist and believed her work to be as significant as Paul Cézanne. She would only sell or reveal her work to those she liked. Godie’s paintings were created in a variety of mediums which included watercolor, pencil, tempera, ballpoint pen, and crayon and on a number of surfaces such as canvas, poster board, sheets of paper and discarded window blinds. Some of her works were several pieces stitched together in the fashion of a triptych. Godie most often painted female busts, which she felt were “an expression of beauty”. Her portraits were often personal: she drew herself, friends, passersby and famous individuals. She also created archetypal characters… Part cultural icon, part personal symbolism. Artist and design editor at the Chicago Tribune, David Syrek says, Lee’s painting have an intensity that is not found in a great deal of outsider art. Art critic, Dennis Adrian called her work bold and strong. Also included in the array of art works Godie created are the black-and-white snapshots from photo booths she took of herself dressed up in different personae. Godie started working on these in the 1970s. She would take these photos and embellish certain parts of them, adding color to her lips or nails or painting on darker eyebrows. Her photographs are often considered her most “highly regarded, inventive work”. She would dress differently for each photo and add color, words or erase parts of the photos. Of her photographs, Ralph Rugoff. Director of the Hayward Gallery. In London, says: These images are very powerful on a number of levels. They’re as gripping as works by any trained photographer. Many exhibitions have featured Godie’s work. Between November 13, 1993, and January 16, 1994, an exhibition entitled “Artist Lee Godie: A Twenty-Year Retrospective”, curated by Michael Bonesteel, who wrote the “Lee Godie” article in Raw Vision. Magazine, was presented at the Chicago Cultural Center. From September 12, 2008, to January 3, 2009, an exhibition of over 100 pieces of Lee Godie’s work entitled “Finding Beauty: The Art of Lee Godie” was on exhibit at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of American Folk Art. In New York City, the Milwaukee Art Museum. The Arkansas Arts Center. The Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. In 1991, Chicago’s Mayor Daley. Proclaimed September “Lee Godie Exhibition Month”. The proclamation in part reads. Now, Therefore, I, Richard M. Daley, Mayor of the City of Chicago, do hereby proclaim September 6-October 8, 1991 to be Lee Godie Exhibition Month in Chicago and urge all citizens to pay homage to a gifted artist.
