About the Item
In this pastel drawing, Sylvia Spicuzza presents the viewer with a rhythmic view resembling waves and rolling hills. The colors of the repeating patterns and softness of the undulating lines recall the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and her abstract views of the New Mexico desert.
12 x 18 inches, artwork
19.25 x 25.25 inches, frame
Stamped with artist's signature, lower right
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.

"Art Deco Sailboat in Abstract Landscape #740, " Crayon signed by S. Spicuzza
By Sylvia Spicuzza
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Art Deco Sailboat in Abstract Landscape #740" is an original colorful crayon drawing on paper by Sylvia Spicuzza, signed in pencil in the lower right corner. The sailboat of the title is in the center, set against a deep blue sky upon a dark green sea. It is framed by a abstract shapes of bright color that flow into one another in curving lines. The horizon line is maintained throughout the composition, and the effect is something like looking through a kaleidoscope.
