Okonaru "African Primitive" Original Watercolor
An original mid-20th-century watercolor titled "African Primitive" by the artist Okonaru, authenticated by Collier Art Corporation (Certificate No. X-387). The piece showcases stylized figures and birds, rendered in a bold graphic style with black, orange, green, and white on a textured gray background. Signed “Okonaru” at the lower right, this work reflects the decorative, modernist aestheti during the 1960s–80s. Though Okonaru is not widely documented in art archives, similar Collier pieces are appreciated for their distinctive mid-century style and collectible value. Presented in a black wooden frame with a cream and red double mat, the composition’s vibrant contrasts make it an eye-catching decorative statement for modern interiors.
