Grand Central Galleries, New York
Priscilla Roberts was inspired by the Dutch artist Jan Vermeer, and created precise paintings of still lifes that she described as "arch-realist." She started out as a commercial painter in New York, but didn't like working on demand, and in 1948 she moved to Wilton, Connecticut, and rented a small studio. Roberts scoured the antique shops, thrift stores, and streets of the town for objects to use in her paintings, and often spent many months composing just one still life. She surrounded herself with pets, and once calculated that she had adopted more than sixty cats during her lifetime. Roberts worked sixteen hours a day, waking up at three or four in the morning to paint, then taking a nap later in the day because "when you wake up from a nap you see your mistakes clearly."

- Haitian Couple in Bed Simultaneously Adjusting their Radios, SurrealismBy Wilson BigaudLocated in Miami, FLWilson Bigaud is an idea artist in who showcases visual ideas in many of his paintings. In this work, a married Haitian couple tunes their radios in sync as they lie in bed. Bigaud was greatly interested in radios, which appeared in many of his works. This work rises to the level of Surrealism in that Bigaud is doing more than just depicting a normal bedroom moment. There is something very strange and bizarre in the couple's synchronized actions. Also of note, it looks like the woman is swallowing the edge of the radio. Signed lower right in a handmade and hand-painted frame. Wear to the edges of board, including delamination in the corners, some dents and losses. Frame rubbing with associated wear. Areas of white discoloration to the bed and headboard...Category
