Up for sale is this Mid-Century modernist painting by Dorothy Prohaska Stafford 1902-1986. She was an american cubist, abstract expressionist active in Chicago at the time these styles were in their heyday. She trained under the great Rudolf Weisborn and exhibited frequently at the Chicago no jury Society of Artists. She also exhibited at the art institute of Chicago. Google her name and more info will come up. This painting was purchased new by my father in 1953 in a gallery in Hollywood Ca. It retains the original frame. The painting is signed on the lower right. The condition is very good, there is some slight scuffing near the center, no paint loss or flaking. It could do with a light cleaning. This is from a smoke free home. The painting measures 31" by 13 1/2".
