OIL ON CANVAS BY F.GUARNIERI OF STILL LIFE FRUIT 1955-60
A fantastic example of a sizable oil on canvas by F.Guarnieri measuring 40 Inches x 28 Inches in a contempory thin gilt oval bevel frame,which is a later replacement for the original.The artist was born in Sicily in 1925 and became a world re-nowned painter and was acclaimed in both continents as one of the few living artists worthy to be considered a descendant of the Italian Renaissance.Wherever he has shown his paintings,critics and public alike have acknowledged him a rare living master and truly a Twentieth Centurt Phenomenon.Arnot & Co on New York have been an established art gallery since 1878, and in past years have sold and commissioned many of his works.
I believe the artist is no longer alive and so collectors often snap up examples whenever they become available.A normal sized painting for this artist would often be 24 Inches x 12 Inches ,and would show either apples or oranges, but rarely both as in our larger example,which also has a jug in the scene.Condition is perfect and with a good light on the subject, the fine reflection and shadows cast from the jug are exceptionally well demonstrated.TELEPHONE ENQUIRIES 856171 VIEWING BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT.
