Description:
Large "Carlo of Hollywood" original oil painting of Paris street scene. Bright colors. Impressionist style. It is a masterpiece, in my opinion. Signed by the artist. Very pleasing to the eye. Painted on a canvas surface. Original frame. Provenance: Exhibited and purchased at an art gallery in Dallas in the 1960's. The word "Dallas" is written on the back of the frame. I purchased it over 30 years ago from a family in Austin who was downsizing and they told me about the history of the painting. The painting is in excellent condition and is still in its original frame. Based on my research, I believe that the painting was completed in the 1960's, which makes it mid-century modern or MCM. The artist "Carlo of Hollywood" is known on the national scene. He is rumored to have worked as a set designer on the "I Love Lucy" show in the 1950's. He is also rumored to be a relative of Desi Arnaz. Most artists need to have various sources of income, so he produced all kinds of wall art. Some is much higher quality than others. The one I am offering for sale is one of his highest quality original oil masterpieces in the impressionist style. Most of his work is from the period 1950 through 1970. He lived in California and had a studio there, but he also exhibited his work across the country. I wish I knew his last name, but I do not know it. The size is 48 inches wide by 24 inches tall, which is somewhat large. The price is $500 cash. Sorry, I do not take any other form of payment. No shipping.
