"Sipping Coffee," Social Realist Painting by Rodda, 1930
$12,500Asking Price
About
A very fine example of Social Realism at the outset of the Great Depression, this painting captures a couple quietly sipping coffee at the kitchen table, gazing steadily into each other's eyes, framed by a painting on the wall and a view of the hills of western Maryland to one side. Fashionably dressed, the man is shown with a high-crown Fedora, and the woman with a tam o'shanter. This painting is by Larry Rodda, a Maryland artist who was part of the Snallygaster School of painters mentored by Charles Walther. Walther was well known for attracting the attention and support of Alfred Barr at MoMA, Duncan Phillips and the Cone sisters. (Dimensions include frame.).Details
