Sylvia Spicuzza"Rembrandt Artist's Pastells" original pastel drawing by Sylvia Spicuzzaca. 1950
ca. 1950
About the Item
Here, Sylvia Spicuzza has taken the opportunity to create a geometric, crystalline composition of color while testing a set of Rembrandt artist's pastels. Her fractured planes of color borrow their formal qualities from the early analytic style of cubism developed by Picasso and Braque in the early years of the 20th century, though could also be compared to the de Stijl compositions of Piet Mondrian in their pure abstraction.
9.5 x 12.63 inches, artwork
17 x 20.75 inches, frame
stamped with artist signature lower left
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.
