Two Women, 1956
Oil on masonite

A classic Bror Utter composition abstracting from the female figure. Flags, cylinders, and tilted planes, all typical Utter compositional devices, are woven into the design. Utter's original hand-painted frame remains as an integral part of the painting.

This painting was given by Bror Utter to his friend and one-time roommate, and has remained in that family until the present day.

Provenance:
Acquired by descent from the artist by the present owner

Excellent condition with no restorations. Surface is dirty and would benefit from a light cleaning. Period frame in good condition.
