About the Item
This is an excellent example of one of Sylvia Spicuzza's rare 'finger paintings': not only is it remarkably large, but it also shows her mastery of the difficult medium - that she is comparable in her skill to such masters as Picasso and Matisse. She painted the artwork on a special oil paint paper. Here we can see an underwater scene. Two goldfish swim though an underwater teeming with life. The modeling made with monochromatic strokes adds to an otherworldly underwater effect.
15.25 x 20 inches, artwork
28.38 x 23.25 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.
