NICOLAS AFRICANO / BLACK GOOSE
NICOLAS AFRICANO / BLACK GOOSE (1971 CHARCOAL)Nicolas Africano
(Illinois, b. 1948)
Black Goose , 1971
Charcoal on paper
5 1/4" x 3 3/4" (sight)
Of this work and the two accompanying works ( The Serpent and Elemental Forces ), Bill Morgan offered the following commentary: "In this period of his life (early 20s), Nicolas sometimes felt he was being pursued by sinister forces he tried to confront through his art."
Presented behind glass in a wooden frame that measures 16" x 13".
Provenance : From the Bill & Ellen Morgan collection. Bill Morgan is a professor emeritus of English at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. It was there that he befriended Nicolas Africano, and he quickly became a patron and collector of the Africano's work as well; for a time Morgan rented Africano a room, occasionally accepting artwork in lieu of payment. This far-reaching collection from an early adopter gives a unique opportunity to access rare early works and get an expansive view of the artist during several pivotal moments in his journey.
Alternate spelling : Nicholas Africano
Condition
Very good condition, noting mild toning to the mat.
