                42x30x3 paint on large canvas, framed canvas purchased from thrift shop by Benny Carter (standard procedure for his paintings) - canvas flipped around and painted on the back side of the couch art painting. in our opinion this is the finest Benny Carter painting to come to public auction to date. Executed during his masterpiece phase ca. 1997/98. Take note of the lack of free space on the canvas. In the streets, there is zero room to add anymore people. His people were created by Benny taking a small brush down to one bristle. A perfected stroke by Benny Carter. This one will be considered one of, if not THE BEST work of Benny's.
