African-American Mardi Gras Painting by Dan Atkinson - 1949

Item Details

Description

Dan Atkinson (American 20th century) painting depicting an African American man and woman in Mardi Gras costume.

Oil on canvas board. Framed. Signed and dated by the artist, upper left.

Beautifully painted rendition of African American lovers at a celebration, probably the Mardi Gras in New Orleans.The work is painted in a very stylized, modernist manner.

He may have been a Black artist, as all the paintings we have seen by him depict Black subjects in a strong and sensitive way. Please see the last photo for a group of black and white images of other paintings by him. These images were found in a collection of photographs owned by George Whitney and then by Marilyn Blaisdell, both were West Coast collectors.

Painting: 7" x 18"

Frame: 12.5" x 23.5"

PROVENANCE: San Francisco private collection.

CONDITION: Excellent condition. No damage or restoration noted. Original frame in good condition.
