It is part of the “New Artist” series produced in mid 1950. Painting H 19.5 / W 14.5. To preserve authenticity I have not removed the brown paper cover in the back which has torn over the years as shown.
Andre Hubert (France, 1911-2009) was born on April 12, 1911, in Rouen, France. He began his career as a self-taught artist during a stay in Morocco, a period that also revealed an affinity for Expressionism. From 1946 onwards, his works reflected a geometric style derived from Cubism—a movement whose lessons he had fully assimilated. In 1947, he made his first foray into geometric abstraction through various studies of intersecting curves. In 1948, he abandoned the name Edmond Baptiste in favor of André Hubert. By 1977, his work featured compositions defined by sharp angles. Between 1974 and 1980, he explored Op Art, creating pieces with vertical slats that altered the image depending on the viewer’s position. He also produced a series of white, low-relief paintings that combined curves and lines.
The product is an original painting by Inuit artist Helen Kalvak, featuring a fishing scene with salmon on blue burlap, created around 1980. This large 16×13 inch piece is matted and signed by the artist, showcasing her unique tribal style. The artwork is a representation of Inuit culture and traditional fishing practices, making it a valuable addition to any art collection.
