Set Of 4 Animal Morris Hirshfield Paintings - Premium Quality Gallery Wrapped On Canvas (14 x 18 inches)
Morris Hirshfield was a self-taught artist (at the age of 65!) of great and near-painful meticulousness. Every mark he made seemed to be accompanied by a projecting tongue and a small groan of inward satisfaction. His favorite subjects included domestic animals – dogs, cats, etc – and, when he painted them, he generally preferred to show them off in family groups.
Hirshfield made a new world; a bold, revolutionary, colorful world of unsophisticated perspective and curiously shaped inhabitants. One that impressed the Surrealists, Primitivists and the likes of Piet Mondrian.

- "Morris Hirshfield was a self-taught artist of great and near-painful meticulousness. Every mark he made seemed to be accompanied by a projecting tongue and a small groan of inward satisfaction.
- Like many other outsider artists, he chose subjects that any long-trained insider artist would have thought entirely appropriate, too: nudes, still lifes, landscapes, for example. His work seems to exist in parallel with high culture's more familiar norms, seemingly within reach of them, but never quite touching. It exists out on its own, perfectly self-sufficient, within a self-generated world of playful and dream-like fantasy.
- This is a set of 4 Gallery Wrapped art prints each measuring approximately 14 inches x 18 inches.
- High resolution printing on premium artistic canvas, by using a high-quality gallery wrapping technique which extends the picture all the way around the wooden frame. And metal hanging hooks already nailed on the frame. The canvas art is ready to hang out of the box.
