Wanted to take this one home from Bonhams NYC, but... outbid. 'The Hidden Apple,' Philip Evergood (1901-1973). In the mid-1940s, his attention was increasingly toward the plight of women. The painting "creates so vividly the sense of a vital and vulgar humanity." Evergood said, "There's a universal Eve there, yet there's a pathos, I felt." https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/158808213_philip-evergood-1901-1973-the-hidden-apple-40-18-x-24-14-in-1019-x-616-cm-painted-in

"Wonders of the Frog," ca 1960s, Phillip Evergood (1901-1973). A leading Modernist of the 20th century, Evergood blended abstraction & realism in a way that found him also identified as a Magic Realist. Mid-century, he was distancing himself from political & social issues to works that were more fanciful & free with an almost childlike sweetness he seemed to never outgrow. Private collection.
