BIOGRAPHY: A painter known for his combining of precisionism and surrealism, Francis Criss was a student from 1917 to 1921 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later of Jan Matulka at the Art Students League in New York. He received his first significant attention at the 1932 Whitney Museum's First Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting. In 1934, supported by Charles Sheeler, he earned a Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship and traveled to Europe, where he created "Fascism," one of his best-known works.From 1935 to 1939, he was a teacher and muralist in New York for the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration and was one of the artists who worked on the mural painting for the Williamsburg Housing Project in Brooklyn. During the 1940s, he did much commercial illustration, and then returned to fine art in the 1950s and 60s, experimenting with Pointillism and a series of collages.

Est: $7,000 - $9,000
Francis Hyman Criss American, 1901-1973 Morning in Florence, 1934 Signed Criss (lr) Oil on canvas 24 x 33 inches Provenance: Private collection A painter identified with the Precisionist movement of the 1930s, Criss was renowned for his colorful, tightly-rendered portrayals of architectonic forms within the urban landscape, especially those of Manhattan. He emigrated to Philadelphia from his native London in his childhood and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, along with training privately with Jan Matulka. The influence of the art of Giorgio de Chirico is evident in this scene in which Criss combined iconic architectural forms from several European cities, all ignored by pedestrians (including two nuns) who take the rich history around them for granted.
