John H. Fincher (b. 1941). "Four Pears" mixed media painting, 1984. Titled, signed, and dated at lower right. A beautiful still life by John Fincher presenting four green pears in a vertical arrangement upon a white surface that Fincher brought to life with shades of blue, yellow, orange, and pink, as well as a richly expressive manner.

A mesmerizing piece, mounted behind glass in a custom matte and frame, "Four Pears" demonstrates Fincher's unique fusion of Pop Art and Expressionist influences.
