French Mid 20th Century Lady in a Striped Bathing Suit and Sunhat

1950's

About the Item

French School, mid century The Bathing Suit unsigned watercolour painting with gouache, on paper (two-layers affixed together), unframed sheet: 18 x 14 inches Eye catching painting with all the heat of a high summer beach scene. It came to us as part of a collection of very good quality art in Paris. It is unsigned, as were the others, but the quality of the image is superb. Dating to roughly the 1950's based on the rest of the collection. The photograph of the back shows a thin second paper sheet attached to the back of the actual sheet this is painted onto. condition report: Some of the red paint of her bathing costume is powdery so does leave a residue on your skins when it is handled, therefore it does need framing under glass. Good strong colour. One tony tear to left side of sheet approximately halfway down the left side, only around three-tenths of an inch and would be framed off in any case.

    Black Woman's Beauty by Lu Haskew Watercolor Portrait 10x8" image size 20x18" framed (behind glass) Shipping price includes the custom packing necessary for safe transport of fine art. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
