About the Item

Subtle and moody portrait of a Pensive man by Joan Tidwell (American, 1930-2002). The sitter in the portrait is a middle-aged man looking slightly downwards, wearing a collared shirt. This piece is completed in a tan and green palette, creating a somber feeling. Of particular note are the confident, thick brushstrokes - each one is well-placed in the modernist style. Similar in some ways to Picasso's portraits. Signed "Joan Tidwell" on verso Unframed. Canvas size: 30"H x 22"W oan Gay Tidwell (American, 1930-2002) was born and raised in Hollywood, CA, where she had some success as a child actor. Later, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Washington with a Master's Degree in English Literature and Drama. Tidwell moved to the Bay Area in 1965 with her husband, where they would remain. She became a well-known artist in the Burlingame - San Mateo community and taught painting to adults and teens. From her memorial: Daughter of an oil tycoon, Joan Gay, or "Joanne" as she was called as an adult, was born and raised in Hollywood, CA. She was introduced to television and movies at 4 years old. She began acting at 5 and was cast as the adorable "Darla" on the comedy series "Our Gang" - Little Rascals". As a teen Joan Gay turned to the theatre and eventually, the arts and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Washington with a Master's Degree in English Literature and Drama.
