This piece features an abstracted blue tablescape still life composition using color blocks to depict a scene with a violin, a green wine bottle, a white plate holding lemons and peaches, and an eggplant. Executed on heavy watercolor art paper, signed lower right. (Work is rectangular, though the perspective in the main image distorts its shape).

Ms. Barth (1920-2012) was a prolific midcentury painter hailing from the Philadelphia PA area. She was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School. Her artistic training came from the Fleisher Art Memorial program of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is the oldest community-based art program in America. More of her works are currently available in our Chairish shop, "Home Lab". less
