"Basket Fishing", Powerful Mid Century Painting with Shirtless Man, South Africa
About the Item
This powerful depiction of a half-nude man capturing a fish in his conical basket -- much like men and women have done for centuries -- is painted in a rich, deep palette of warm brown, green and yellow-green. The man's head is bent over in concentration, and the fish is leaping upward in a futile attempt to escape. The brushwork is loose and confident, and the artist --reportedly from South Africa -- was clearly masterful, though his signature is difficult to decipher. The painting retains its original, elaborate hand-carved frame made in Taiwan in the 1950s.
