An imposing untitled piece by an unidentified modernist showcasing masks and segmented, Cubistic forms—that suggest artist mannequins, or possibly marionettes. The work employs a muted, trichromatic palette of earthy tones. Close inspection reveals a composition fraught with gesture, conjuring the odd ambivalence of a scene from one of Pinter’s “comedies of menace.” Signed simply “ALANNA” in block lettering en verso along one of the corner braces. Presented in a shallow floater frame.
