Description
Elaine Coffee (American, b.1941) Original Oil on Linen "The Magic of the Louvre". Professionally framed. In frame measures 24.5"x35"x2". Weight 7 lbs. PROVENANCE:The Morris Whiteside Gallery. A keen observer of the human figure, Coffee depicts the body language of people in a wide range of environments. However, she intends her paintings as much more than figural compositions in familiar settings; more than mere snapshots of time and place. She strives for expressions of attitudes and atmospheres; spontaneous gestures with endless possibilities for interpretation. A New Jersey native, Elaine Coffee completed her formal training at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and has traveled throughout the United States and Europe gathering inspiration for her contemporary genre paintings. Elaine Coffee is a member of the National League of American Pen Women, the Arizona Artists Guild and the Sonoran Arts League, and her paintings may be found in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
