Striking 1959 mid-century modern portrait by Mina Pulsifer, known for her expressive, textural approach to figurative painting. Pulsifer’s signature impasto technique is on full display here—the thick, sculptural brushwork and energetic surface create a sense of emotional depth and movement. The vivid orange hair and dynamic abstract background contrast sharply with the pale, chiseled features of the sitter, giving the portrait a powerful, almost haunting presence. The piece is housed in its original distressed white wood frame, which complements the raw, modern aesthetic of the artwork. A compelling example of Pulsifer’s mid-century output and an excellent addition for collectors of expressionist or California modernist art. Art measures 18" x 24", in frame 23" x 29.5"
