HUGHIE LEE-SMITH (1915 - 1999)
Untitled (Young Man in a Slum)
.
Oil on linen canvas, circa 1960. 660x914 mm; 26x36 inches. Signed in oil, lower right.
Provenance: private collection, Arizona.
This striking and large canvas is a wonderful example of Hughie Lee-Smith’s mid-career painting. It
appears very closely related to his
Slum Lad
, circa 1960, in the collection of the Flint Institute of Arts.
