Description
Nicolas Africano
(Illinois, b. 1948)
Actor II, 1986
Oil & mixed media diptych on canvas
20" x 17" (each panel)
Each canvas is titled, dated, and initialed to the reverse. The figure on the left panel is modeled in mixed media relief. Each canvas is stretched across a beveled wooden strainer.
Provenance: From the Bill & Ellen Morgan collection. Bill Morgan is a professor emeritus of English at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. It was there that he befriended Nicolas Africano, and he quickly became a patron and collector of the Africano's work as well; for a time Morgan rented Africano a room, occasionally accepting artwork in lieu of payment. This far-reaching collection from an early adopter gives a unique opportunity to access rare early works and get an expansive view of the artist during several pivotal moments in his journey.
