About the Item

"Art Deco Bird #688" is an original color crayon drawing by Sylvia Spicuzza. The artist stamped her signature in the lower left. This piece depicts an abstracted bird and biomorphic shapes in blue, green, yellow, orange, and brown. 11" x 15" art 20" x 23 7/8" frame Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza. She received her MFA from Northwestern University. 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. Spicuzza died in 1998.
