Maurice Sullins
Matisse's Three Oranges - Calder's Three Oranges

Circa 1977

About the Item

This painting is from the Matisse series created by Maurice Sullins in the late 1970s. Sullins' works, set in brilliantly imagined scenes in Tahiti, France, Spain and Chicago, often reference European or American masters. While he never copied other artists, he transformed and construed famous recognizable motifs into his own fresh and unique painterly language, believing his purpose was to continue their great work.
