About the Item
In this series, Audrey Anastasi has shifted her focus away from naturalistic domestic settings to a dark, enigmatic, and some might say, unsettling, place. These figures could be heros and heroines of Greek tragedy, or mythic characters caught in Promethean struggle, or simply beautiful, floating, lost souls confronting only their own inner demons. No matter their identity, they are found in a well of deep emotion…
And, as in all her paintings since 1990, these works were painted with her left (non-dominant) hand.

Modernist Portrait of a Woman
By Margaret Keane
Located in Milford, NH
A fine modernist portrait of a woman by American artist Margaret Hawkins Keane (1927-2022). Keane was born in Nashville,TN, and attributes her deep respect for the Bible and inspirations of her artwork to the relationship with her grandmother. In the 1960’s, while married to her second husband Walter, she was forced to paint and sell under his name, but during their divorce proceedings, she was able to prove that the paintings were actually done by her and the court determined that she was able to paint under her own name again. She became known for painting women and children with large black sad eyes...
