    Floral Still Life (Irises) by Charles Keeling Lassiter (1926-2005). Oil on Wood Panel Board. Measures 30" X 8". Dates 1950's-1980's.

    Charles Keeling Lassiter (1926-2005) was a New York City Modernist figure-genre and animal painter.

    Here is a brief write up on him from the Bountiful Davis Art Center (Bountiful, Utah) website:

    "Charles Lassiter was a reclusive artistic genius active during the era of Pollock, Rothko and the Abstract Expressionists. He rejected trends of Minimalism and Pop Art and produced lively, surreal figurative work in line with the visions of Jean Dubuffet and Paul Klee. Lassiter’s work has been in exhibits and is in collections of the MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Yale and the Carnegie. However due to his extreme agoraphobia, Lassiter struggled to build art world relationships crucial for exhibiting his art while he was alive.’"

    He is listed in Davenports, Artprice, Askart, Artnet, Artfact, Findartinfo.
