A contemporary oil painting on canvas titled “The Fortune Teller (The Card Player)” by American artist Harry McCormick. Hand signed in bottom right. Circa 1980s. The composition depicts a solitary female figure laying out cards on a red swirl-patterned tablecloth. It appears as if she is contemplating the cards in front of her yet there is a slight hint of whimsy and fun with her cocktail at her side. A light source from above illuminates the space which creates dramatic shadows within the composition. McCormick takes inspiration from the American Realist painters at the turn of the 20th century such as Edward Hopper, John Sloan, and George Bellows. From a private collection in Metro Detroit who acquired the painting from Garelick’s Gallery. Original gallery tag on verso. Dimensions: 24.5”h x 23.25”w x 1.5”d (framed). In very good vintage condition.
