Sylvia Spicuzza"Biomorphic Flowers" original watercolor painting by Sylvia Spicuzzaca. 1960
ca. 1960
About the Item
In the 1960s, Sylvia Spicuzza made several watercolor abstractions with biomorphic qualities like the one presented here. This example takes on the appearance of a flower, while the watercolor seeps into the paper resembling contemporaneous abstract expressionist works by such artists as Helen Frankenthaler.
8.25 x 10 .75 inches, artwork
15.5 x 17.87 inches, frame
Stamped with artist's signature, lower right
Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza. Sylvia devoted herself to teaching art to the students of Lake Bluff Elementary School in Shorewood, WI. During this time Sylvia produced a magnificent body of work that was undiscovered until her death. Sylvia's work is rich, diverse and fascinating collection of drawings, watercolors and prints from the 1920's to the 1990's. Her style ranges from early figurative drawings to regionalism, Art Deco, lyrical abstractions of every conceivable subject (both real and imagined), as well as figurative paintings that reflect the work of Picasso, Kandinsky and Max Ernst in the 1930's and 1940's. Biomorphic and organic, Modernist images are presented with Sylvia Spicuzza's own unique sense of style, humor and fantasy.
