Description

This is a striking, bold and Amazing Antique Vintage Abstract Hard Edge Cubist Oil Painting on canvas, depicting a cubistic and modern abstraction of geometric shapes, lines and spheres. This work approximately dates to the 1950 s – 1960 s, and was created by St. Augustine, Florida modernist woman painter Gilberte Masson (? – ?). Despite her long career as an exhibited artist, there is not much biographical information on this pioneering female modernist. She exhibited her pieces at the Twenty-First Annual Florida Artists Group Exhibition and Symposium at Rollins College, in Winter Park, Florida, amongst many others. Perhaps you know more about her or her work? Signed: “Masson” in the lower right corner. Additionally, this work is signed and titled on the verso: “Gilberte Masson…A Step Forward.” Approximately 32 3/4 x 38 3/4 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 32 x 38 inches. Very good condition for age, with some light edge wear to the original period frame. This fantastic painting would be the centerpiece of any tasteful modern home or business setting. Acquired from an old collection in Pasadena, California. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
