Philip Evergood Orchids in my Studio Signed Modern Expressive Oil Painting
About the Item
An expressive modern oil painting on canvas titled “Orchids in my Studio” by American Social Realism painter Philip Evergood. Signed mid left bottom by the artist with the roman numeral “LXII” on the bottom right, possibly referring to the date created (1962). Original gallery tags on verso from Gallery 63 Inc., New York. As a civil rights advocate, Evergood’s famous paintings showcase working-class people in a composition that is full of movement and energy. Although this floral still life is a departure from the artist’s figurative work, such as his famed painting “Sunny Side of the Street”, the same spontaneous bold lines and vibrating brushstrokes can be found when viewing his depiction of orchids. Evergood's influences include El Greco, Bosch, Brueghel, Goya, Daumier, Toulouse-Lautrec, Sloan's Ashcan paintings, and even prehistoric cave art. A rare opportunity to own an original painting by one of the founders of the American Social Realism movement as many of his paintings are in museums collections, not private. Provenance: From an estate outside of Detroit, MI. Inherited painting from family, who were the original owners, and purchased it directly from Gallery 63 Inc., New York. Dimensions: 35.5”h x 31.5”w x 1.75”d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Philip Evergood (1901-1973) was an American artist and was particularly active during the Depression and World War II era. During the Great Depression, the artist worked for the WPA, creating murals in both Queens, NY, and Jackson, GA. In the 1950s Evergood departed from his established ""Social Realism"" style and concentrated on symbolism, both biblical and mythological. A characteristic work of this period in Evergood's life is “The New Lazarus”, painted in 1954 and presently housed in the Whitney Museum of American Art. Today, his works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Extremely important works of particular renown by this artist can reasonably be expected to break into the six figure range (USD) and are infrequently seen on the open market due to heavy museum consumption of important Evergood works from the 1950s through the 1980s.

- Raphel Soyer Seated Girl Signed Vintage Modern Figurative Original Oil PaintingBy Raphael SoyerLocated in Keego Harbor, MIAn original pensive oil painting on canvas titled “Seated Girl” by American artist Raphael Soyer. Hand signed bottom right. Circa 1950s. The painting depicts a young woman in red dressed in mid-20th century attire that was fashionable in the era. The walls behind her are bare, creating a stark and minimal composition. The main figure seated seems isolated among dramatic shadows and lighting, like the artworks by Edward Hopper. A unique opportunity to own an original painting from a New York Modernist painter. From a private collection. Dimensions: 34”h x 39.75”w x 1.5”d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Raphael Soyer (1899-1987) was a painter, draughtsman, and printmaker who believed that art is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate. From an early age Soyer and his brothers Moses and Isaac were encouraged to draw by their father, a teacher of Hebrew literature and history. Forced to leave Russia in 1912, they immigrated to the United States and settled in Brooklyn. In the mid 1920s, having studied at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Soyer painted scenes of life on New York's east side. His portrayals of derelicts, working people, and the unemployed around Union Square during the Depression reveal more of a poignant vision of the human condition than the art of social protest popular with many of his contemporaries. Throughout his life Soyer painted people his friends, himself, studio models with an unerring eye...Category
