An oil on board Cubist painting in the style of Suzy Frelinghuysen, 1911 to 1988. Signed with initials lower left. Framed. Suzy Frelinghuysen, also known as Susie Morris, was an American abstract painter and opera singer. Her paintings were done in a realist style until the time of her marriage to abstract painter and collector George L.K. Morris in 1935. Morris introduced her to the work of European modernists like Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris, which inspired her to explore a more abstract Cubist manner. In April 1937, she joined the American Abstract Artists AAA which was an organization concerned with the Museum of Modern Art focusing mainly on American Scene Artists. In 1938 she became the first woman to have a painting placed in the permanent collection of A.E. Gallatins Museum of Living Art. She and Morris were founding members of the American Abstract Artists. She took part, in Paris, at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, and exhibited also in Rome and Amsterdam. In 1943, Frelinghuysen's work was included in the Peggy Guggenheims show Exhibition by 31 Women at the Art of This Century gallery in New York. One of a kind artwork.
