About the Item

"Abstract With Clouds" is an original ink drawing on paper by Sylvia Spicuzza, stamped with her signature in the lower right. The drawing is done entirely in pink with a combination of flowing curves and straight lines. The clouds of the title are near the top of the page, while the rest of the image is taken up by a shape that resembles a sailboat with butterfly wings for sails. This piece is framed with museum glass and archival mat board. Art size: 12" x 8 3/4" Frame size: 18 1/2" x 15 1/2" 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 and Ernest Max 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.
