AMERICAN TOWER OIL PAINTING BY GERTRUDE ABERCROMBIE
Gertrude Abercrombie, German, American, 1909 to 1977, oil painting on masonite board, Empty Tower, 1954. Signed and dated, lower left. Framed. A paper label, inscribed, lent by the artist, on the backside. Gertrude Abercrombie is known for Surreal imagery, gloves, grapes, hats, block printing. Gertrude Abercrombie was an American painter based in Chicago. Called the queen of the bohemian artists, Abercrombie was involved in the Chicago jazz scene and was friends with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Sarah Vaughan, whose music inspired her own creative work. Her work evolved into incorporating her love for jazz music, inspired by parties and jam sessions she hosted in her Hyde Park home. Her works are painted in a precise, controlled style. She took little interest in other artists work, although she admired Magritte. One of a kind artwork.
