Description:
Ellis Wilson (American/Kentucky, 1899-1977), "Still Life of Roses in a Watering Can", oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed en verso, 22 in. x 18 in.
- Notes: Note: The remarkable painter, Ellis Wilson, left his small rural hometown of Mayfield, KY, for Chicago where he studied at the School of the Art Institute, one of very few art academies to admit African-American students at that time. Wilson developed an intense interest in color and expressive brushwork that is vividly apparent in the painting offered here, "Still Life of Roses in a Watering Can". An informed and serious discussion of Wilson's life experiences and the diversity of philosophy and aesthetic influences that engaged the artist may be found in the exhibition catalog, The Art of Ellis Wilson, Sperath, Vendryes, Jones and King, The University Press of Kentucky, 2000.
