Elaine Badgley Arnoux
The Green Boat

1958

About the Item

Mid century modern masterwork, 'The Green Boat', by celebrated American woman artist, Elaine Badgley Arnoux. Painted in 1958 in the artists's unique style, to depict her husband's boat (that was build in 1911) as it sat on a raised platform outside of the artist's studio. The painting marked a breakthrough in how Ms. Arnoux created "volume" in her work, as well as her shift from realism to realism translated into patterns and bold abstractions that preceded other paintings - often in grand scale - focused on social commentary and complicated allegories that are the focus of her oeuvre marked by personal and local memories. Painted in the Santa Barbara region in California, and exhibited at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art for over a decade, and in the two person exhibition Elaine Badgley Arnoux shared with Channing Peake. The extraordinary woman artist, now in her mid 90's, continues to paint every day. She says in her documentary, 'Shadows and Light' directed by William Farley, "I was very old when I was young. I wasn't young until I was old". The painting is in excellent condition and framed in natural hard wood. Presented by Andra Norris Gallery in California.
