Modernist Signed Impasto Oil Painting

by the renowned American Artist Melvin M. Corson (b. 1936)



Oil on Board

Signed bottom right "
Melvin M Corson" and  

again Signed and Titled on Verso "at the red door"


Great Execution - Very Realistic rendering of the details and lighting



Very small paint loss bottom left corner, and also some crackling,
as typical of impasto paintings

Have photoed it under different lighting conditions to try to bring out these surface conditions

Measures approx.  16 1/2" x 13 1/3" or 42 cm x 34 cm

Ships without frame by Express Priority shipping



If Buyer wants it in original Wooden Frame it will have to ship by EMS for a flat cost of $82 because of its size and weight

Even then, I bear no responsibility nor any guarantee for the Frame, neither before nor after transit, despite my proper and careful packaging. 

The frame would come ASIS and is not part of the sale, and should be regarded as a gift.
