About the Item

Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Justin McCarthy (American, 1891-1977) Marking(s); notes: no marking(s) apparent Materials: board/panel Dimensions (H, W, D): 24"h, 16"w Additional Information: Provenance: Artist (as part of a collection of nearly three hundred pieces bequeathed to his cousin, Robert “Buddy” Goeltz, thence by descent) / Ashcroft and Moore, 4.28.2022, lot 98. Justin McCarthy (1891–1977) was a self-taught American artist whose vibrant, expressionistic works captured scenes of popular culture, landscapes, and figures with a raw and intuitive approach. His paintings, now celebrated in the world of outsider and folk art, have been compared to the works of Purvis Young and Grandma Moses, reflecting a similar untrained yet deeply expressive visual language. Included in major exhibitions such as the 1982 landmark show Black Folk Art in America at the Corcoran Gallery, this piece is part of a collection of nearly 300 works originally bequeathed to his cousin, Robert 'Buddy' Goeltz, and later sold at Ashcroft and Moore (Lot 98, 4/28/2022). Please see our other Justin McCarthy works listed on 1stdibs.
