About the Artist:
Frank Whipple (1923-2016) was an American Still Life and Surreal artist from California.
In the early 1960s, after turning his amateur enthusiasm for painting into a vocation, he began producing the small-scale works he called “Whipple’s Wimples.” Executed in oil on board, on a miniature scale of 5 inches by 5 inches, they depicted groups of nuns, always seen from behind, in comic situations: playing tick-tack-toe on a wall, smoking cigarettes furtively behind a barn, wandering into a bar with a “Spirits” sign over the entrance.
Over more than half a century he turned out thousands of nun paintings, attracting the patronage of Hollywood luminaries like Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Henry Fonda and John Wayne.
Sold as is. Great for collectors!
