A must have if you are a Chicagoan! Titled, "The Road Through Town", this is an oil on canvas painting of an Eastern-European (likely Hungary) town scene by Vienna Beef sign painter, Gustav Korn! Artwork size 8" x 10". Framed size: 10 1/4" x 12 1/2". Provenance: Estate of the artist. Painting is in a wooden frame.
Born in Hungary in 1915, Korn emigrated to Chicago in 1956. Originally hired by Vienna Beef on the manufacturing end of the operation, his artistic talents were discovered when a fellow employee spotted him exhibiting at the Gold Coast Art Fair. Korn was then promoted to being a sign painter for the company!
He exhibited at the Gold Coast Art Fair for over 10 years and won awards there. Examples of his sign painting can be found at the Chicago Historical Society.
At the age of 93, Korn died in Chicago.
