About the Item
In this drawing, Sylvia Spicuzza presents the viewer with a scene from the theater or opera, showing five women on stage. Three of the women have their backs to the viewer, while one in the foreground casts her arms out over another who has fallen to the ground. The staging looks similar to works by Shakespeare, or perhaps Mozart's Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute.
4.25 x 5.5 inches, artwork
11.5 x 12.88 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.
