"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.
