        Virginia Paccassi (American, b. 1921)

        Est: $4,000 - $6,000

        Virginia Paccassi (American, b. 1921, act. New Orleans, 1941-1942), "Vieux Carre, New Orleans", oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, "Sixty-First Annual Exhibition of San Francisco Art Association, 1942", "Painting in the United States, 1945, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, PA" and "Contemporary Arts, Inc., NYC" labels en verso, 34 1/4 in. x 44 in., framed. Note: Virginia Paccassi was born in 1921 and attended college in both Iowa and Oklahoma prior to receiving a scholarship to the New Orleans Art School in 1941. In 1944, her work was included in the Metropolitan Museum’s first Pepsi-Cola Exhibition and subsequently she was sponsored by Contemporary Arts in 1945 for her first one-woman show in New York. For a brief period, Paccassi and her husband, printmaker Lowell Naeve, traveled the country giving lectures and demonstrations on the art of printmaking. The painting offered here is a charming and rare view of the Barracks Street Wharf and environs beyond, including a grocery, a cemetery, iron lace balconies and a colorful laundry line. The painting was included in several exhibitions as indicated by the labels en verso, including the aforementioned solo exhibition sponsored by Contemporary Arts in New York in 1945.
