About the Item
A major work by Noche Crist (1909- 2004). Titled "The Devil's Mirror" and signed on reverse. The mirror in the center of the painting reflects a distorted image of the viewer. Catalogue of an exhibition in 2008 at the Katzen Art Museum in Washington D.C. is included. The painting was recently featured in the inaugural exhibition at the Romanian Cultural Institute in NYC. A painting from the same series is in the permanent collection of the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Romanian born, self-taught artist is known for her acrylic paintings on wooden panels and shaped transparent polyester resin sculptures that create images reminiscent of her childhood at her family's country estate outside Bucharest. Her works depict dreamlike, surreal scenes of partially dressed women posing seductively in opulent, sometimes fantastical, settings. In other paintings and panels, she portrays bare-breasted women and felines sensually intertwined. Noche Crist was well known not only for her paintings and sculptures but also her storytelling and entertaining that helped turn her into a legendary figure in the Washington D.C. art scene. Her works gained a following among art patrons, including Olga Hirshhorn, one of Washington's leading art collectors.
