Maurice Green
Corner Boys

1936

About the Item

Premiering for the first time in three decades, the original paintings of American artist Maurice Green. Born in 1908 in Latvia, Maurice Green studied with prominent artists of the day before settling in Los Angeles in the 1930’s. The artist continued his art education and began exhibiting throughout galleries in Southern California. As with many artists, his earliest style was more realist imagery, transitioning through his intense fascination with the cubist avant-garde movement, into specific cubist imagery which became the trademark style of painting for the remainder of his life. This is the first presentation of the paintings of Maurice Green since his death in 1993. “Corner Boys”, is an exceptional very early work, painted in the traditional style of the American WPA movement. "Corner Boys", is an original oil on canvas, signed, dated 1936, with an image dimension of 28 x 24 inches; a painting which clearly defines his talent as a fine American artist.
