(American, born 1938)
Raspberries and Goldfish, circa 1990, a copy by Robert Hennon (North Carolina, born 1959) after the painting held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, oil on canvas with lattice type frame, 72-1/2 x 64-3/8 in.; along with a reproduction print of Spring Party, with metal frame, 22-1/8 x 52-1/4 in.
Note: Robert Hennon has confirmed that he painted this work after Janet Fish in the early 1990s. It is accompanied by a letter that states:
"When I was a young artist I was mucking about in my studio trying to find my visual voice when I became aware of Janet Fish's wonderful still life painting "Raspberries and Goldfish". A large canvas filled with dynamic energy and such immediacy that it captivated my interest. I set out to study it as best I could and tried to remain faithful to the original. In the end it proved to be an invaluable teaching tool for me. At the time I never knew how to sign it and decided, due to my naivety, to leave it unsigned.
Sincerely, Robert Hennon"
