37: FRED SHANE (1906-1992) REGIONALIST OIL ON PAPER 1947

Frederick Emanuel Shane (1906-1992)
Changing for a Swim (1947)
The work on thick paper or cardstock depicts a couple dressing before or after a swim and is signed lower right in black pigment with a date of '47.

Painted a few years after Shane served as an artist correspondent for the U.S. Army Medical Corps, the style and subject matter of this composition are consistent with the artist's regionalist roots, even if the location is not. While he is most associated with Missouri and Colorado, more than a few works similar to this are known, including one titled Beach at Santa Monica.
Sight size measures 12.5 x 18 with a framed size of 21.75 x 26.5 inches.
Very good original untouched condition. There are no issues of scratches, losses, repairs, in-painting or touch-up.
$800 - $1,200
