“Tiger and His Friends” Oil on Canvas by Sylvia Goldie Lipson
$1,600.00Charming Sylvia “Goldie” Lipson (New York, USA 1905-1992) oil painting titled “Tiger and His Friends” featuring a grouping of colorful, life-like children’s toys (ca. 1952, USA).
Lipson, a WPA painter who spent much of her life as an artist in New York City, was most notable for still life, interior scene and landscape painting, along with teaching and writing.
“Tiger and His Friends” is a unique departure from Liston’s style, with almost a surrealist / dream-like quality to the subject matter of inanimate objects coming to life. Whimsical style incorporating attractive, bold colors.
Frame shows losses in places; canvas is in fine, vintage condition.
Signed: Lipson
Titled on lower front and in verso.
Framed: H: 29.75″ x L: 39.75″ x D: 1.38″.
1974 Mixed-Media Acrylic and Raffia Abstract on Canvas Signed Rohan
$1,800.00Mixed-media acrylic with raffia and twine signed ‘Rohan ’74.’ Impressive in composition and scale (Measures: H 45.75″ x L 36″) incorporating various textures, colors, and shapes. Although subject to interpretation, image appears to be an abstract canine figure, with the twine-bordered circles symbolizing balls.
As it, the canvas does not lay flat, requires framing in order to keep the canvas even.
1975 “Susan and the Elders” Oil on Canvas Signed M. Goldring
$800.00Susana and the Elders, a story from the Book of Daniel, has been interpreted by artists throughout the ages, most notably Rembrandt. The story centers around Susana, who has been violated by two elders, then tried for crimes she did not commit. Justice prevails in the end, but the protagonist suffers greatly in the interim.
This is a modern adaptation, titled simply ‘Susan and the Elders,’ giving the work a contemporary context.
The female figure in the work is a white stencil, lacking all interior definition, which perhaps symbolizes the lifelessness she is left with after the atrocities she suffered.
Visually striking, with bold colors and textures, which further enhance the prominence of the central figure.
Titled on the reverse and signed ‘M. Goldring 75’ to LL.
H 14.1″ x W 16″ x D 4″
