Frances M. Folse (American/Louisiana, 1906-1985), "Abstraction", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 19 in. x 28 in. E1000-1500 Note: Born in Bayou Lafourche, folk art painter Frances M. Folse found inspiration in the plantation life, oil and gas industry and fishermen of the local Southern Louisiana community for her paintings. A debilitating illness as a youth left her with limited mobility. In 1938 at the age of thirty-two she enrolled in an educational correspondence program in art and began to pursue her career as an artist. William Groves, an early and important collector of Louisiana art recognized Folse's ability and encouraged her as an artist. This colorful and lively painting is one of Folse's rare endeavors into the modernist movement. Reference: France M. Folse: Bayou Lafourche Folk Painter Rediscovered, Louisiana State University Museum of Art, Baton Rouge and Southdown Museum, Houma, 1997.
