About

A dark and mystical exhibited fine art oil painting by the prolific and frequent Golden Age of Illustration pulp artist Harry Fisk. Artwork bears the original Salmagundi Club Curator's Exhibit label which would appear to be C. 1950 judging from the mid-century limed wormwood frame. The work is titled Nude Contemplation, and depicts a black woman dramatically lit in the nude conjuring spirits. Signed LL. Sight size 11" by 15" Framed 15 1/2" by 19 1/2"
