Description:

This stunning oil painting by Harry Wysocki, titled Sigourney, reflects the ornate, decorative style reminiscent of Gustav Klimt. The composition likely features intricate patterns, gilded elements, and ethereal figures, hallmarks of Klimt’s influence. Known for his versatility, Wysocki, alongside his brother Charles Wysocki, created hundreds of iconic "Americana" artworks, widely used in greeting cards, magazines, and prints.

This particular work diverges from his Americana themes, embracing an elegant, decorative aesthetic, possibly incorporating symbolist and Art Nouveau elements. The title Sigourney suggests an intriguing narrative, possibly inspired by literature, history, or mythological themes.

Provenance:

From the estate of Leonard Katzman, the renowned writer and director of the hit TV series Dallas (1978-1991), which ran for 14 seasons with 357 episodes.
