Alida Van Gores 10" Oil on Canvas Blue Flowers Framed

Collectibles : Paintings, Prints : Alida Van Gores Oil Painting Study In Blue

 

Offering; a wonderful, oil on canvas by Dutch painter and author Alida Van Gores. Alida Van Gores began her career as an artist, but soon moved on to writing. Her first novel, "Mermaid Song," was published in 1989, and she was working on her second novel when she died. Also, Van Gores wrote the teleplay for the 1984 CBS telepic "He's Not Your Son," and her screenplay "Marooned" was recently optioned by Itaska Films. This is a heavy oil from the1970's, with much use of the palette knife to raise the paint up giving it a low relief effect. The picture is of flowers in a bowl, with everything done in shades of blue. Van Gores signed the painting with her paint brush. This work is framed in wood painted dark green. She painted the work on canvas board and it measures 10" X 8". The framed piece measures 9 1/2" X 11 1/2". No damage. At the back of the painting, tucked behind the hanging wire I found an old brochure or pamphlet from her studio, containing a picture of her and her bio. Painter, author and screenwriter Alida Van Gores died of breast cancer in 1998.
