Lot 186: FITZGERALD, ZELDA

[Dogwood Blossoms]. ca. 1940 Gouache on paper (approx 7 x 5 ins.; 178 x 128 mm). initial signed in lower left. Matted and framed. Zelda's painting career was originally as tepidly received as her writing, but in recent years her watercolors, gouaches and drawings of flowers, views and cityscapes have received more serious attention. Most of her artwork was destroyed in the asylum fire that claimed her life in 1948.
