NICOLAS AFRICANO / A SPARROW
NICOLAS AFRICANO / A SPARROW PURSUED A MOTH (1987 OIL)Nicolas Africano
(Illinois, b. 1948)
A Sparrow Pursued a Moth , 1987
Oil and wax on canvas
20" x 17"
The image of a seated smoking man with the titular sparrow and moth flying around him, done on canvas that has been stretched across a beveled wooden strainer.
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, with no issues noted under blacklight inspection.
