About the Item

Original frame which measures 43" x 22" x 1.5" Signed lower right "B. W. Smith" Signed, titled and listing original price verso in pencil on label 'Beatrice Wose Smith/"Reflections of Crete"/ Price $150' About this artist: Beatrice Wose-Smith was born in Syracuse in 1908. She studied painting at Syracuse University, where, upon graduating in 1930, was awarded the prestigious Hiram Gee Award to support post-graduate study. She subsequently spent two years with the painter George Luks in New York City. The lessons of Luks stayed with Wose-Smith throughout her life -- her best work was inspired by the world around her, often central New York settings and its citizenry. By 1932, the artist had returned to Syracuse becoming a familiar presence on the local exhibition circuit. Smith taught in the School of Art at Syracuse University from 1945-1957. Her style of painting combined direct observation of her subject with the simplification, even stylization, of form; the use of warm, saturated colors; linear outlines, and a highly developed facility for the depiction of complicated compositional space.
