EDDIE ARNING (AMERICAN, 1898-1993), ATTRIBUTED, OUTSIDER ART DRAWING, oil pastel / cray-pas on paper, depicting two figures lounging on a white towel or blanket on a tiled ground next to a pool or body of water, background with shrubs or a fence, all within a double border, no signature located. Housed under glass in a modern frame. Circa 1970. 28" x 22" object, 36 1/2" x 31" OA.
Catalogue Note: Eddie Arning was born to a German homesteading family in Germania, Texas, where he grew up on his family's farm. He suffered bouts of depression and anger, eventually leading to an attack against his mother, in which he was briefly hospitalized afterwards. In 1934, he was committed to a mental institution for schizophrenia and remained in treatment for 30 years.
Arning was introduced to crayons by an Austin artist, Helen Mayfield, who worked at the hospital in the summer of 1964. He began creating drawings that appeared to be autobiographical at first and, then, was inspired by popular culture materials such as newspaper stories, magazine photos, and advertisements. Arning switched from working in crayons to oil pastels, or "Cray-Pas", around 1969. After being released from the hospital, he lived in a nursing home, where he produced nearly a drawing per day. He completely ceased drawing after being expelled from the nursing home in 1974.
Very good visual condition, areas of slight lightening along wrinkles of paper, frame with minor wear. Not examined out of frame.
