About the Item

Colorful wooden sculpture that includes a variety of shapes and colors that are connected to a small light purple base. The maquette is signed and dated by the artist on the bottom of the sculpture. Artist Biography: At the time of her death in 1997 Ida Kohlmeyer was Louisiana’s most renowned artist. Her paintings and sculpture, characterized by exuberance and painterly freedom, are personal interpretations of a wide world of joyous color, motion and vitality. She was able to express deep feeling directly on to her canvases. Ida Kohlmeyer developed a distinctive vocabulary of shapes and symbols which she first organized in grid format and later in loose flowing patterns. The artist translated that style into her acclaimed metal sculptures with their vertical arrangements of both geometric and organic shapes. Provenance: From a private collection.
