John Prue
Surrealist Seashells Still Life

ca. 1940s

About the Item

A pair of evocative beach still life painting that flirt with surrealism by outsider artist, John Prue. Oil on masonite panel, each measures 12 x 24 inches; 13 x 25 inches framed. Each is signed lower right. Some wear and minor paint flaking to paint surface. The artist presents us with a disorienting perspective and scale. We are left wondering is the composition was actually arranges in real life, or purely from the imagination.
