This original gouache painting on paper measures 23 x 17 iinces.&nbsp; The outside of frame measures 27 x 32 1/2 inches.&nbsp; The backing dust paper on the back did have a framers name on it years ago, unfortunately it has come off.&nbsp; It was from Toronto downtown.<div>My feeling was that it was by perhaps Arshile Gorky who had a long association with Toronto, after living here for a big in his early carrier, he would have likely visited on occasion.&nbsp; Regardless, the skill level of the this abstract expressionist painting for the time, the 1950s is super high and cutting edge for the day.&nbsp; One may possibly be able to identify the artist. I always wanted to re-matt the painting but since it proves its age and might be a clue to its artist I have not.&nbsp; The frame and matting is original to the piece.&nbsp; &nbsp;Exceptional detail and subtle use of color amongst the darker colors.&nbsp; It is unsigned.&nbsp; I purchased this about 28 years ago and have enjoyed a great deal since as it captures the best of the period.<br><div><br></div>                </div><br>Pickup category timeslot {A}
