Artist: Carl Abrahams Painted in 200??? Oil on Canvas. Size: 36ins. x 231⁄2 ins.
Carl Abrahams (1911 - 1989), OD JAMAICAN ORDER of DISTINCTION, is regarded as one of Jamaica's greatest pioneer artists. His works have been exhibited internationally, including six exhibitions in the United States between 1953 and 1982.
Abrahams' paintings are highly collectible, and he has earned his popularity with Jamaican art lovers because of an endearing style that meets the viewers' needs for narrative representation, but with imagery that also appears modern. The combination of simplified forms, dark outlines, bold and acidic colours easily distinguish his painting. It is stylised but not stylish. Sometimes combined with frames that are hand-crafted and seductively ornate, his choice of subject matter, his sardonic wit, and his idiosyncratic style confirm that Abrahams is a unique and significant Caribbean artist.
