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.

We are pleased to offer a major work from the artist's middle period.
