Signed and framed oil on paper by poet, Rookwood artist and painter also know as the Picasso of Cincinnati. Wonderful picture!
When we met Jens and his wife Betty in the late '60s, they were doing very poorly financially and sales-wise (he was painting on old newspapers and rocks instead of buying paper). We introduced them to Closson's Gallery in Cincinnati and they had their first show in 1970. These works have been selling in shows, galleries and auctions world-wi...de ever since, which is itself a testimonial to the skill and how collectable this artist remains. Right after things got going for them, in the way of a thank you, Jens wrote a poem just for our family that has never before been seen or published. I will be giving a copy of the poem to the purchaser of this fine work of art. We bought this and some other paintings and took them to Suder's Gallery in Cincinnati to have them framed. This picture is still in that original frame. The frame, matte and picture are all in very good to excellent condition.
