William Fett, Missouri, Michigan / Mexico (1918
William Fett
Missouri, Michigan / Mexico, (1918 - 2006)
Cloak and Dagger, 1956
oil on canvas
signed lower left and again with title and date verso.
Property from the Saint Louis Art Museum, sold to benefit the Acquisitions fund
Provenance: Mr. and Mrs. Morton D. May
In the file compiled by the art museum, there is a sense of familiarity as Fett was a St. Louis artist who taught at WashU for a number of years and eventually retired in Mexico City. St. Louis was obviously thought of as a home to him even after he left, and he cultivated his connections to the area. Spanish Landscape was done in Spain in the 50’s during a trip that resulted in a large body of work.
