Description

This painting, Signed A Burch, is a richly colored still life reflective of southwestern or Mexican culture. In this image, one sees a yellow sombrero. To the right of the sombrero hangs a gourd encased in a white net, suspended by twine from a turned wooden candlestick. In the foreground are two rounded objects that occupy a central position and one pottery vessel. This still life stands within the tradition of 20th-century American regionalist painting or Mexican modernist still life, drawing attention to everyday cultural artifacts. Rather than an opulent European table setting, the subject matter reflects vernacular, possibly folk craft materials, suggesting a narrative of cultural identity, simplicity, and connection to place. The mixed planes of the painting show the artist's attempt at cubism and further strengthen the connection to Mexican Modern Art traditions. Artist: Signed "A. Burch" in the lower left corner Medium: Oil Painting on Canvas Style: Mid-Century Modern & Folk Art Style Dimensions: Approximately 26" H x 28" W (including frame) Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age.

  1. Lamps came quickly and were carefully packed, but they were missing the harps due to an error at the shipper. The seller apologized, found the missing parts, and had them shipped right away. Overall an extremely positive experience. This seller cares about making things right. Highly recommended.
