| MINNA KAREN. Untitled oil on masonite panel, 20" x 36", the composition in reds, blues, yellows, greens, orange and brown; signed indistinctly ("Minna K."), lower right. A march, apparently of protest, several figures carrying placards; a family group in the right foreground lends poignancy to the composition. Some paint loss to the outermost quarter-inch of the panel, all four sides; two small (approx. 1/4" x 1/8") areas of paint loss to the left edge of the panel; a 1/8"-wide strip of darkening along the lower margin of the panel (approx. 3/8" from its edge) is evidence of a former framing; the large masonite panel is slightly warped, that is, the painting does not lie perfectly flat on a horizontal surface. No date; probably, a work from the mid-1940s to the early 1950s. Unframed. Provenance: estate of the artist. Minna Karen, ca. 1920 - ca. 2005, active in New York City and on Long Island, 1940s-1980s. | |||||
