I don't know the artist 'Franklin' but I do adore this unusual painting. Spot the various, multi coloured old doors, that were used to fence off the bridge, during either maintenance, building work or just to keep out folks looking for shelter. Based on the skyline the painting seems to depict a scene somewhat earlier, than in the 1960's - I have a feeling the scene might have been created based say on an earlier photograph from the 1930's / Depression) - just a hunch ... I don't really know.
Objects retailed in the 1960's by the Karl Mann Gallery in New York do pop up from time to time - mostly oeuvres of the 'folk art ilk' which in their own right command good prices. However, this painting is something else - extremely decorative and pleasing to look at, picturing a well known, yet most interesting, respectively unusual subject matter.

- Alfons Alphons Müller (1898-1955) Expressive Oil Painting Switzerland c. 1950By Alphons MüllerLocated in Meinisberg, CHAlphons (Alfons) Müller (Swiss, * 24.8.1898 Mitlödi, † 8.6.1955 Biel) ' Im Häfeli ' The small harbor at the Lake of Biel / Bienne in Switzerland • Oil on artist board, ca. 47 x 38 cm • Frame, ca. 54 x 45 cm • Signed bottom right Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Alphons Müller lived and worked in the watch industries in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland up to about 1933. He then decided to become a full-time artist and painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits/nudes in various styles up to his early death in 1955. Alphons Müller was the proverbial hardworking bohemian artist. He lived in a small cold room above a pup and often struggled to make ends meet. On one hand he would paint commercial views of local beauty spots - often of the Lake of Bienne. These paintings were generally executed using very thin paint layers (to make the expensive material last longer ...) in a very bright impressionist style. On the other hand, he would create intelligent, generous and deep reaching images - especially during the war. In the late thirties he meets his two loyal patrons, the baker Werner Gass and the pharmacist...Category
