Still Life With Watermelon - Maria Sperling (1898-1995)

An oil on canvas measuring 64X48 cm representing a still life with watermelon work from the 20s by Maria Sperling (1898-1995)

Painter of Polish origin, she was born in 1898 in Lodz, Poland. She studied in Krakow with Jozef Mehoffer. She settled in France in 1922. From the post-impressionism of her beginnings, then to the modern style of the school of Paris, she evolved from 1945 towards abstraction, thus associating herself with a current that had become international. Author of many tapestries and a mosaic for Nice airport, she exhibited many times on the Côte d'Azur, but also in Paris, from 1958, in Milan, Washington and New York. His works are in the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, the Museum of Antibes, the Fondazione Pagani in Milan, Krakow and Lodz.
