About the Item

Painted by Frealon Bibbins (American, 1926-2013). Dated verso, '9/18/76' and '9/19/76'. Stamped with Certification of Authenticity and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This listed California artist lived and painted in Alameda and also had a distinguished career both as an author and as a musician 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 to offer a major work from the artist's middle period.
