Jimmy (Lee) Sudduth (1910–2007) “Untitled (Evening Cityscape, New Orleans)” 48" × 48" (52" × 52" framed) • Signed Upper Left** A large-scale, highly expressive cityscape by celebrated American Outsider artist Jimmy Lee Sudduth, this 48" × 48" mixed-media painting is executed on the artist’s characteristic hand-prepared panel and signed Jim Sudduth in the upper left corner. Pieces of this size, subject, and clarity are increasingly scarce—particularly examples that evoke one of Sudduth’s most iconic themes: his imaginative visions of New Orleans. Rendered in bold strokes of house paint, “sweet mud,” and vivid enamel pigments, the composition presents a row of monumental skyscrapers rising dramatically against a deep black evening sky. The buildings—painted in Sudduth’s unmistakable vertical grids of color—tilt and shimmer with energy, capturing the sense of awe he associated with large cities. Though Sudduth’s cityscapes are never literal, this work strongly aligns with his known depictions of New Orleans at night, a city he visited, admired, and frequently reinterpreted in his paintings. The angular, brightly lit towers and the presence of a spire-like structure echo several buildings along New Orleans’ downtown corridor, particularly the postmodern silhouettes near Canal and Poydras. Along the foreground stands a charming procession of simplified human figures, a classic Sudduth motif associated with the street parades and communal gatherings he connected to New Orleans culture. Their small, rounded forms create a compelling contrast to the towering architecture above—an interplay that speaks to Sudduth’s recurring themes of community, celebration, and the human scale within the modern world. Sudduth, recognized as one of America’s most important Outsider artists, developed a highly personal visual language rooted in rural Alabama traditions, natural pigments, and improvisational mark-making. His works are held in major institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Folk Art Museum, the High Museum of Art, and the Souls Grown Deep Foundation. This painting stands as a strong example of his late-career style: bold, intuitive, rhythmic, and unmistakably his own. Medium: Mixed media (including “sweet mud,” house paint, and enamel) on artist-prepared panel Image Size: 48" × 48" Framed Size: 52" × 52" Signature: Signed upper left “Jim Sudduth” Provenance: Private Chicago Collection Condition: Excellent overall; stable surface; ready to hang.

PRESENTING a simply beautiful, monumental and imposing original work of contemporary art, namely, a Triptych oil on canvas panels of New Orleans Colonial/French Quarter Houses. Unsigned and undated, but most definitely inspired by the World Renowned New Orleans artist, James Michalopoulos. These were not painted by Michalopoulos, but were clearly inspired by him and his famous depictions of ‘wavey’ New Orleans houses. Also, they were created and painted in New Orleans, contemporaneously to when Michalopoulos was starting to become recognized, in the New Orleans (and greater) artworld. The 3 panels work perfectly together as a visual feast and ‘connected’ work of art. The panel on the left features a wavy blue, grey and yellow, French Quarter style 2 Story Wooden house, complete with Corinthian Style Columns, decks, railings, storm shuttered windows, etc. It has a deep blue sky with shimmering light reflections. The garden to the front, has steps leading to the house and has shrubs and flowers, that are continued into the 2nd or middle/center panel. The middle or center panel incorporates the other side of the garden plants etc for continuity and it features a single story pink, yellow and white wavy French Quarter style house, with fabulous decor and complete with decks, railings, storm shuttered windows, etc. It has a deep blue sky with shimmering light reflections and a white moon, emitting swirling patterns of light. The garden to the front, has steps leading to the house and has shrubs and flowers, that are continued into the 3rd or right panel. The right panel, features a wavy light...
