Vintage Folk Art Painting – 1970s Style Well-Dressed Gentleman w/ Cane – Framed Original ⸻ Description Original folk art painting featuring a sharply dressed African-American gentleman captured mid-stride — a confident “pimp walk” with cane in hand, wide-brim hat, beard, and small John Lennon–style sunglasses. The figure is full of attitude and motion, evoking a strong 1970s street style / old-school gangster aesthetic. This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted work with thick, expressive brushstrokes and visible texture — clearly real paint, not a print or reproduction. The color palette is warm and striking, with layered peach, rust, cream, yellow, and brown tones that give the piece depth and presence despite its smaller size. The artist appears to have signed the work with a street-style or stylized name. The final portion of the signature clearly reads “DAG”, though the full name is not fully legible. I was unable to find additional information on the artist, which is common with folk and local works — part of what gives pieces like this their authenticity and character. Measurements: • Artwork (visible): approx. 7 1/2” x 9” • Frame: approx. 10 1/4” x 12 1/4” • Framed in a white frame (Note: the art sits in an 8x10 frame, so there is slight cropping from the original edges.) Provenance: Found in Los Angeles at a local flea market. Believed to be the work of a local or self-taught artist. Perfect for collectors of folk art, outsider art, African-American art, or expressive vintage-style paintings. This piece has real personality and stands out beautifully on the wall.
