Love Letters

2000

About the Item

Love Letters is a lithograph on paper with an image size of 2.25 x 2.25 inches, initialed 'FMB' lower right and annotated lower left, framed in a contemporary silver and dark gray frame. Numbered 111/250 from the edition of 300 (there were also 50 APs). Fanny Brennan’s innovative approach to painting is immediately clear in the small size of her work, which never exceeds a few inches square. Her surreal images, rendered in meticulous detail, mingle realism with fantasy as she poses familiar objects in unexpected surroundings. She paints what she likes - sky, seashells, ribbons, rooms, waterfalls, books, pencils, small household objects. In the process, they become exactly what they are, and a good deal more besides.

About the Artist: Wifredo Lam was an Afro-Cuban artist best known for his unique Surrealist aesthetic that combined European artistic movements with the imagery of his native country. “I responded always to the presence of factors that emanated from our history and our geography, tropical flowers, and black culture,” Lam once said. In one of his most famous paintings, The Jungle (1943), these various influences are melded together, onto a single large-scale canvas. Born Wifredo Oscar de la Concepción Lam y Castilla on December 8, 1902 in Sagua la Grande, Cuba, the painter moved to Madrid, Spain in 1923 to study with Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor, who had been the teacher of famed Surrealist Salvador Dalí.
