$430.00

Frederick Childs (1908-1978) - Modernist “Trompe De L’œil” Still Life, Signed (c. 1955, Oil on Canvas). Signed in the lower left corner.  In verso written at the top:  “Trompe d’loeil that won’t fool anyone!!!”   In very good condition with wear consistent with age.

Size: 16 x 24 in

Frederick Robbins Childs was a Manhattan based post-Impressionist painter. A graduate of Harvard University, he began his career as a reporter for The New York World. However, he left journalism to pursue his interests and studies in art. He met his wife, Mary Alexandra Hitchcock, while they were both studying painting at the studio of André Lhote, the French Cubist painter.

Lhote’s influence can be seen in many of Childs’ portrait and landscape paintings. Although he is described as a Post-Impressionist, Childs often incorporated the angular aesthetics of Cubism into his bright pallets.

During World War II, Mr. Childs served with the American Field Service in North Africa and with the United States infantry in Europe. After the war he had several one‐man shows at the Passedoit Gallery in Manhattan.
