About the Item

Everyday American life is captured in this Clyde Singer painting, The Red Ribbon (1939), in which he depicts a moment in the city. An exceptional close-up portrait of a woman walking down the sidewalk of a 1939 Ohio street with a red ribbon on her hat. This is likely a holiday shopping scene, because the inscription on the reverse notes that it was done at Christmas 1939. An accomplished American Scene painter, Singer successfully captured everyday life during his long career. This painting is executed in oil paint on masonite board. It is signed by the artist in the lower right as well as inscribed en verso "The Red Ribon / Singer Christmas 1939". Presented in a wide wood frame and ready to hang. Framed Dimensions: 19 H x 19W Inches Image Dimensions: 13 H x 13 W Inches Born in Malvern, Ohio, forty miles south of Akron, Clyde Singer became known for his regionalist paintings in oil and watercolor of everyday landscapes and people. In 1933, he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. It was during the Depression, and he lived a Spartan existence. His teachers included John Steuert Curry, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Ivan Olinsky. Adopting the Social Realist style, he tried to paint in the same locations as George Bellows and John Sloan, and he painted many scenes of the interior of McSorley's famous saloon that Sloan had depicted. He had a long history with the Butler Institute in Youngstown, OH.
