A contemporary oil painting on canvas titled “Reading” by American artist Harry McCormick. Hand signed bottom right. Circa 1980s. The composition depicts a solitary female figure reading a newspaper at desk in a cozy bedroom, most likely a New York City studio space. A modern light over the desk illuminates the dark space – a lovely evocation of light and shadow. 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. Dimensions: 36”h x 46.25”w x 2.5”d (framed). In very good vintage condition.
