Vintage Modern Handsome Young Man Blue Jeans Blonde Seated Painting

This delightful late 1950's-early 1960's 18" x 24"oil on artist's board (27 x 21" framed) is the work of JANET BOSSE (1930-2000) who was a graphics teacher at Hofstra University and received her degrees from Lawrence College and Michigan University. A native of Detroit , she was active throughout most of the last 2 quarters of the 20th century and her paintings were exhibited in New York City galleries as well as spaces in the south and Midwest.  This work (from the estate of the painter) dates from her earliest period and reflects influence from the post impressionist masters.  The subject is a handsome, young, yellow-haired lad in blue pullover and jeans seated in a garden with his powerful worker's hands in his lap. The artist has used rich impasto in the flora of the background  in contrast to the rather more thinly applied pigments in her presentation of the figure itself, often leaving white ground visible on the edges of the brushwork.  The painting is unsigned and inscribed on the back (probably by a family member) "BOSSE" and has a strong old master appeal on the wall.  It is housed in polychrome, brutalist/rustic wood molding of the period. .
