A wonderful homage to Picasso “Dora Maar Smoking” by the noted Palm Springs Artist Shawn Savage. Mr. Savage passed away suddenly earlier this year. This recent work was finished shortly before his passing. The painting is done on board which measures approximately 12×16 inches. Mr Savage used an old frame that he painted an off white, I suppose to better suit his painting.
The image is vibrant and colorful and clearly a take on Picasso and his Muse Dora Maar, (Henrietta Theodora Markovitch) the French Photographer, Painter and Poet.
Please take a moment to have a look at the other striking Savage images we acquired from his estate listed on this site.
The frame has imperfections, and drip marks. The painting is in good condition but there are some spots of missing paint which seems normal for Shawn Savage’s paintings.
Frame size is approximately 21.5 x 25.5 inches in dimension.
