Confession of a Rose
oil on board
signed Pushman (lower right)
25 x 21 1/2 inches.
Estimate $15,000-25,000
Provenance:
Findlay Galleries, Chicago
Acquired from the above in 1947
Accompanied by a copy of a letter, signed by the artist and dated November 19, 1947, which reads: This painting is composed of objects which came from the Far East - a wooden statue of a Chinese divinity, an old Tibetan banner as a background and an iridescent vase containing a fading rose. My theme revolves around this rose, with bending head before the divinity, confessing, pleading. I am not sure if I know what sorror or pain caused the tears of this rose, but I know this, that there is an eternal promise from the Price of Peace that we will come out from life's tragedies, into light and immortality. Color being the keynote of my work, I try to combine them, such as you will find in this composition to awaken my emotion in the observer, as a musician will do with sound.
Also accompanied by a copy of a letter of reference from the Frick Art Reference Library, dated November 19, 1947. - Shipping Info
