Neal Auction CompanySarah Albritton (American/Louisiana, 1936-2020), "I'm Gonna Git Me Some Fruit", 1999, mixed media on paper, signed and dated lower right, 9 in. x 12 in., framed, overall 13 5/8 in. x 16 5/8 in. x 1 3/8 in. Condition: Overall good condition. Note: Lifelong Ruston resident and restauranter Sarah Albritton was born in 1936 but started painting later in life when she was 57 years old. Her work reflects themes of poverty, hunger, religion and the racism which she experienced as a child. Often painting from a birds-eye perspective, Albritton frequently depicts a young girl in a blue skirt in interiors and landscapes with angels often watching from above. The artist developed a technique of building impasto with cigarette tobacco or modeling clay so that elements of her paintings appear to bubble off the canvas. The work offered here is a whimsical portrayal of the girl in a blue skirt perched on a crate and theatrically reaching with the help of a cane for a piece of fruit. The composition is delightfully reminiscent of Alices Adventures in Wonderland. Ref.: Roach, Susan. Sarah Albritton. 64 Parishes. Sept. 11, 2012. www.64parishes.org. Accessed Jan. 27, 2023.
