About the Item
Wonderful mid century portrait of young girl with balloon in style of Raoul Duffy by Barbara "Mari" Berkman (American, 1930-2010), 1963. Titled "La Prima Vera," signed and dated lower right corner. Condition: Excellent. Presented in giltwood frame. Image size: 24"H x 20"W.
Berkman was a Chicago born artist studied at the Chicago Art Institute and Tafflinger School of Art in Indianapolis under Jose Alvarez in Mexico City. In Indianapolis she was taught the famous George Bridgeman method of figure drawing by Tafflinger who had been his student.
""I believe the human figure offers the greatest challenge to an artist. The range of symbolism and expression it offers is infinite, inexhaustible. Yet I do not confine myself to painting just people. That is like eating nothing but mashed potatoes. I am highly experimental and prefer to move freely from one subject to another. Confinement to one technique and one subject stultifies the artists growth.
She hold the Best of Show award in figure painting from the Young Midwest Artists Show, Wayne University in Detroit. Her works have been included in the Young Chicago Artists Exhibit at Charles Stevens & Co., Chicago at the William H. Bloch and Lieber Galleries in Indianapolis and selected for show at the Indiana State Fair.
Paintings bearing the Mari signature have been acclaimed for their versatile approach to the subject and her unorthodox use of color.

Woman, Yellow Shawl and Fan
Located in Greenwich, CT
An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
