Mid Century Abstract Oil Painting 1961 Rare Civil Rights Historic Modern Art

About the Item

CIVIL  RIGHTS ART! "INTEGRATION" IMPORTANT ORIGINAL ABSTRACT CUBIST PAINTING  BY  S. JEROME ( Approx. 13" By  24" ) O I L   O N   B O A R D 1961 Art serves a variety of purposes. It can be used as decoration, a tool to inspire and uplift or it can be used to document places, people and events. It can also be used to create a social statement. This important work of abstract art is one of the most powerful social statements of the 20th century. "INTEGRATION" is the product of the civil rights era and the struggle for all Americans, regardless of their skin color to be treated equally under law. This painting promotes "integration" - showing that a man is more than black or white and can live in harmony. It shows how skin hues are found in both and creates a masterpiece social statement. A daring work for it's time; it captures the civil rights era. The civil rights era produced lots of icons and heroes. Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks are some of the more well known heroes, but there were unsung heroes too. S. Jerome, in this cubist work, puts his own civil rights message into art. It's a historic reminder of the struggles that Black Americans have faced to achieve social equality. Original pre-1964 Civil Rights era works of this significance seldom are available in the marketplace and we are honored to make this work available. This was painted two years before Martin Luther King would give his "I have a dream" speech in Washington DC. In very good vintage condition.  There are several nail holes in the wood. Those were present when the work was created and the board used was reclaimed material. Signature in lower right corner. Titled & dated verso. Incredibly Rare Civil Rights Art For Your Historic Collection!
