Ruth Bamberger Painting Black African Woman Culture Modernist Oil on Canvas Portrait Antique Art 1927 Paris Martinique Israel tropical_painting Measures 13" T x 11On offer oil on canvas by Ruth Bamberger of a black woman, possibly from Martinique, painted in Paris and dated 1927. This portrait has real presence, full of life and humanity. It is rare to find a painting of the period that recognizes the personhood of a black sitter as an individual, but this does so emphatically. Beautifully articulated folds of fabric and Matisse style background truly stunning throughout. Ruth Bamberger was born in Switzerland
