Please look over photos carefully.

Two paintings

Roughly 12.5” X 12.5” Framed

12” X 12” canvas

Close up the trim on the frames look gold, one lighter than the other. In the photos one looks silver and the other gold.

Condition appears to be very good.

Slight differences between the two paintings.

“Born in Sedalia, MI, Bernard Goss graduated from the University of Iowa in 1935. He soon moved to Chicago where he studied with George Neal and at the Art Institute of Chicago, and during the WPA period, served in the easel division of the Illinois Art Project.

In 1939, he married Margaret Burroughs, who had lead the drive to create the Southside Community Art Center. Their carriage house was an important meeting place for the group of founding artist members--this important Federal Art Project-funded center opened on Chicago's South side in 1941 and is the only surviving WPA art center today.

Goss was part of a circle of artists and writers that included Joseph Kersey, Charles White and Richard Wright.”
