Sylvia Spicuzza
"Downtown Lakefront" original conte cubist drawing by Sylvia Spicuzza

1954

About the Item

The present work, drawn with black Conté crayon on a calendar sheet, Sylvia Spicuzza presents the viewer with a rhythmic vision of an urban lakefront. The beach scene is dominated by cubist abstractions of skyscrapers and sailboats, with figures in the foreground and a sailboat in the distance. 13.5 x 21.5 inches, artwork 21.25 x 29.38 inches, frame stamped with the artist's signature lower left 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.
