An unusual shaped relief oil on canvas in original frame by Frederic Karoly,(1898–1987), signed and dated 1963. Frederic Karoly, a painter whose abstract oils are in the collection of the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim and the Whitney museums, and many others... The Hungarian-born artist studied painting in Paris and architectural engineering in Berlin before coming to the United States in 1926 and beginning a successful career as a fashion and fabric designer. In 1948, while working as a fashion director for Simplicity Patterns, he had a one-man exhibition in New York of his oil paintings, wire montages, dry-pen drawings and abstract photography. He also devised a method for using standard typewriter characters to create patterns for weaving or printing. In 1968, he received a $5,000 award from the National Endowment for the Arts for his accomplishments in the visual arts. But for the last 30 years of his life, he refused without giving any reason to exhibit or sell any of his work, according to his son, Robert E. Karoly, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
