Joseph Albert Sutter
Vintage Modernist Architectural Oil Painting - Joseph Sutter Southern California

About the Item

Like it’s listed companion piece, this is a late Art Deco/Moderne architectural painting with vibrant colors and bold composition. This work is untitled but features a whimsical and futurist metropolis. The oil on canvas measures 24” wide by 30” high and with its original silvered frame 27 1/2” x 33 1/2” overall. Unlike its companion work, it is not signed or labeled. This painting dates to ca. 1940. Joseph Albert Sutter was born in Switzerland in 1891 and arrived in Los Angeles in 1926. He became active in the 1930’s Federal Art Program. Sutter was a painter of portraits as well as being a sculptor. His mural designs and executions are for which he is most known. He died in 1964 and was buried in the Hollywood Hills. This is one of a pair of very stylish period paintings by Sutter that are listed on this specific site.
