A one of a kind vintage 1950s handmade copper enamel and carved two-tone wood modernist figural Three Women design artwork by Miami Beach artist/enamelist Anita Fletcher. Entirely handmade hand carved two-tone irregular asymmetrical wood frame surrounds three inset enamel panels each featuring a different female form in cloisonné enamel. Looks like the ebonized wood has been inset with the lighter colored wood which in turn was inset with the three enamel plaques. (See my closeup photos of the varied coloring of the enamel figures. There is a subtlety to the enamel that isn't apparent from a distance.) A stupendous work of original art from the mid-century of Miami Beach! Measures 15" wide by 13" tall by about 1" at thickest point. Signed at front in the enamel at bottom of the enamel panel farthest to the left, "AF". Also, still retains the original gallery sticker at back for the Huber Gallery at 3917 Alton Road in Miami Beach, and dated 1958. Some of the label has been worn over the years, but I can still make out "enamel on copper and carved wood". Also, still has the artist name, Anita Fletcher, clearly marked. There is some splitting to the wood framing the enamel, but the enamel plaques are flawless. There is also some edge wear and what looks like paint splatter along the outer edges of the ebonized wood frame which I haven't touched, leaving this artwork completely as found. Excellent vintage condition with the above caveats but no damage or detractors whatsoever as shown and ready to hang on the wall.
