Jay Thurston Robinson
(1915-2019)
20th Century New York/Michigan Modernist best known for abstract figure genres and non objective paintings
Original signed oil painting on masonite board
Titled
Manioc Pounders II, Africa
Signed upper left--see photos
Board: 12"x 16" Frame: 16"x 19.75"
Looks very good, in "as found" original condition, surface grime, frame has wear--please look at photos carefully.
Fantastic composition by Jay Robinson depicting abstracted figures of the Carib tribe in Guyana using Manioc Pounders, which is a tool used for gathering food.
My price of 9 is extremely reasonable and far below what one would be expected to pay for it in a gallery or at auction.
