Gutmann, Bessie Pease. THANK YOU, GOD: AN ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY BESSIE PEASE GUTMANN. This charcoal pencil drawing with watercolor wash is framed within a simple wood frame (circa 1950), the obverse shows the artwork within a simple overmat of 14-1/2" W x 19-1/2" H, framed within a 21" W x 27" H frame. The artist's signature, at lower left of the artwork is her typical 3-step signature with the Copyright symbol that appeared on all of her later work. The hand-drawn title "THANK YOU, GOD" is located at the bottom-center of the overmat. On the bottom-right of the overmat are three lines noting the following: "Given in Loving Memory of, Hellmuth Gutmann, By Bessie P. Gutmann". This art piece was a gift to the Presbyterian Church of Toms River, New Jersey from Bessie P. Gutmann in memory of her husband. This artwork hung in a place of prominence at the church for over 50 years; it was acquired directly from that church. The work is accompanied by a letter of authentication from Dr. Victor J. W. Christie, the Gutmann family-designated biographer of Bessie Pease Gutmann, and recognized authority on her art. Dr. Christie states "I do, therefore attest to the fact that the artwork described in this document is, without question, the original creation of BESSIE PEASE GUTMANN." This iconic image has been reproduced in many forms including art prints, collector plates and ceramic figurines. Original works by this artist rarely, if ever come on the market. This is an EXCEEDINGLY RARE OPPORTUNITY to acquire the original of this much beloved image. N° de ref. del artículo 000750
