About the Item
Here for your consideration is a vibrant and richly painted original work of a series of abstract figures by the well known American artist, Neith Nevelson. Signed lower right. Condition is excellent. Acrylic paint on artist board with highlights of gold and silver marker. This unique work of art is one that truly embodies her "outsider" label. As described in "Neith Nevelson: In the Middle of the Night," Neith's paintings are visions from her imagination and explore the figurative, symbolic and narrative. As described by the Miami Herald's review of a 1994 exhibition, the form of her art reflects the conflicts and contradictions of her life, living in the world of her famous grandmother and the New York art world of the 1960s. Nevelson's early work take the form of line drawings. Her style developed into complex paintings based on the gestural fluidity of drawing, underscored by her larger art-works which tend to combine elements of all her three major themes - Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism. Some art-critics have labeled Nevelson as “Outsider” artist. Nevelson's grandmother was the sculptor Louise Nevelson, her father, Mike Nevelson (1922-2019), was a sculptor and her mother, Susan Nevelson (1924-2015), was an artist and textile designer. Nevelson grew up in Florence, Italy, and began painting at the age of two. She spent her childhood in Florence and New York City, and as a teenager moved to New York, to live in her grandmother's studio. Nevelson studied briefly at the Accademia di Belle Arti, in Florence, Italy. As a student she concentrated on subjects she eventually became known for rather than the standard curriculum of still life drawings and landscapes. Her first exhibition was in 1974 at the Galleria Nuova in Florence. She lived in Coconut Grove in South Florida from 1977 until her death in 2023.
The painting is housed in a green marbleized frame with gold trim and inner linen liner. Overall framed measurements are 16.75 by 23.25 inches. Provenance: A Sarasota, Florida estate.
