About the Item

Pastel on black paper. Ms. Morgan says: When I finally started riding the subway again during Covid isolation - going down to the ocean was a real treat. The collection of fisherman, homeless, walkers and artists felt like an odd post apocalyptic community. The rides are all shut down, but blue skies and the delightful designs of the amusement park and the boardwalk create fabulous visions of the fabled and constantly reincarnating Coney Island. These pieces need to be framed under glass (not plexi) with a double mat or spacers in the frame to give some space between the glass and the artwork. Your framer will understand.

Surreal Abstract Mid 20th Century American Modern Woman Artist Work on Paper
Located in New York, NY
Surreal Abstract Mid 20th Century American Modern Woman Artist Work on Paper Juanita Guccione (1904 - 1999) Surreal Abstract 18 x 11 3/4 inches Watercolor and mixed media on paper Signed lower left Framed: 23 x 17 inches Note. We are currently have listed a 1935 oil by Guccione, and in addition to this abstract drawing, we have several other works on paper, along with a major surrealist oil, none of which are currently listed. Inquiries are invited. BIO The following is from Djelloul (Del) Marbrook, son of the artist. Of signatures on paintings by his mother, Juanita first signed as Anita Rice, then as Juanita Rice, Juanita Rice Marbrook, Juanita Marbrook, and finally Juanita Guccione after marrying in the 1940s. Juanita Guccione's life (June 20, 1904-December 18, 1999) spanned all but four years of the 20th Century. Cubist*, realist, surrealist*, automatist* and abstract strains are all to be found in her work, but by 1970 she was painting works in watercolor and acrylic that no longer included the human figure or the observed world. She was the younger sister of the abstract geometric* artist Irene Rice Pereira. The sisters were born in Chelsea, MA, but spent most of their working lives in Manhattan. In the early 1930s, Guccione, then painting as Nita Rice, lived for four years among the Ouled Nail...
