43: FERNANDO DE JESUS OLIVEIRA (B. 1946) OIL ON CANVAS

Ferjo. Fernando De Jesus Oliveira (B. 1946)
Journey to World Peace (2006)
This original work of surrealism with trompe l'oeil fantasy, signed by the artist lower right front, was painted as companion piece to a canvas presented in June 2006 to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Given the role of Harry S. Truman in these historic events, and the inclusion of his likeness in the first composition, the Committee for World Peace commissioned this painting to be given to the Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs from where it is now being deaccessioned.
Canvas measures 50 x 40 with a framed size of 58.5 x 48 inches.
Very good condition, the complete sheet, not laid down, no stain, damage or repair.
Provenance: The collection of the Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs
$2,000 - $3,000
