Offered here is a large, exhuberant oil on board painted by Joan Kempsmith (1928- ), Cleveland School. This painting is dated 1955. It is an abstract representation of a cathedral niche containing figures of the Madonna and Child. The painting is highly detailed and it takes awhile to grasp all the intricate details fairly hidden in the explosion of colors and layers of brushwork. The painting is in it's original frame. It measures 41.5" by 50.5" in the frame. The image is 31.5" by 40.5". The artist is listed but doesn't have a long record. The items I found that she had sold were very small or were monoprints. Not much is written about her except to say that she was born in North Carolina, lived and taught in Cleveland, and later married a rather well known artist.
