About the Item
Seymour Franks
No. 4, 1952
Signed upper left
Dated on verso
Oil on canvas
American painter and designer, Seymour Franks, was born in New York City in 1916.
Seymour Franks contracted polio at the age of 16. Despite this setback, he worked for the WPA and studied at the National Academy of Design in 1937. Early in his career, Franks produced colorful modernist abstractions, later transitioning into abstract expressionism, a path followed by many New York artists of that era.
Though much of his youth was spent in hospitals, Franks emerged as a successful artist and designer. He exhibited his work at prestigious venues including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in 1944 and 1954, the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1946-48, 1950, and 1952, the Brooklyn Museum in 1949 and 1951, the Art Institute of Chicago in 1947, the Peridot Gallery from 1948, 1950-55, the University of Nebraska in 1951, and the University of Illinois in 1952.

Mid Century Textural Color-Field Abstract in Royal Blue-Purple by Peter Witwer
A striking mid-century textural color-field abstract in a bold color palette of royal blue-purple by San Francisco artist Peter Witwer (American, 1928-1968). This highly textured mixed media piece, c.1960's, uses a monochromatic palette that is divided into two areas of varying textural depths. The lower part of the canvas verges on sculptural, as the textured surface becomes almost three-dimensional and haunting forms emerge from the abstract purple-blue plane.
Unsigned. From a collection of the artist's works.
Displayed in a painted wood slate frame. Frame has been painted by the artist and is considered part of the artwork.
Linen size: 26"H x 22"W.
Framed size: 27"H x 23"W x 1.2"D
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Provenance: Without a will and a family that had little interest in his art, nearly all of his possessions and close to 100 paintings were turned over to SF’s Conservators Office. His friend, Albert Richard Lasker, purchased all of Peter’s possessions (including the art) and has taken care of them until this day, always sensing there was something remarkable about the collection. Wanting Peter’s work to finally be seen, Richard came to Lost Art Salon with Peter’s story after reading about the new gallery in a July, 2005 issue of the SF Chronicle.
