Purple Church

Story

A church painted in purple rises among city buildings, its doors carved with detail, while windows glow around it and small figures gather in the plaza below. The piece was made with gouache on paper in 1946. Ralph Fasanella, born in 1914 and died in 1997, worked as a painter and trade unionist in the United States, and he is also known for Subway Riders.

Where it works

Cool-toned artwork suited to living rooms and media rooms, and to hotel lobbies, in a horizontal format.
