Frealon Norden Bibbins
'Waves of Light', San Francisco Bay Area Abstraction, Large Oil, Musical, Tibet

1976

About the Item

Painted by Frealon Norden Bibbins (American, 1926-2013) and dated, verso, 1976. Additionally stamped, verso, with Certification of Authenticity. A substantial, oil abstract evoking organic floral forms and comprising fluidly superimposed and adjacent, diaphanous layers of magenta, coral, lilac, and grass-green contrasted against an ivory field. This listed California artist, author and musician lived and painted in Alameda and also had a distinguished career with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra (1943-63). Additionally, he was a long-time clarinettist with the Woodwind Quartet. In his paintings, he used music as inspiration for his forms of abstraction, incorporating flowing sequences of form and a harmonically integrated palette. Bibbins was also an honorary member of the Nepal and Tibet Philatelic Study Circle and the author of several monographs on Tibetan philately. We are pleased offer this large work from the artist's middle period.
