Macena Barton Chicago Surreal Modern Feminist Artist Self Portrait 1950s

Harold Haydon Chicago modernist oil on canvas. Titled on the back “Odysseus Coming to Shore on Scheria.” A homage painting to ancient Greek mythology; Homer’s Odyssey. Size of the work is 13.5X19.5 inches. With the frame it is 18.75X14.75 inches. Housed in a beautiful frame. It appears the date is 1929, but it could be a bit later. Haydon taught art at the University of Chicago and was an adjunct teacher at Indiana University (Gary Campus). He later would invent his own style/ technique of artwork called “Binocular Vision,” where he painted scenes with double vision.  Painting is in great condition with minor craquelure throughout. Bright colors and ready to hang. A magnificent work for any serious art collector.
