Biography:

Doris Lindo Lewis was an artist with many different stylistic interests, perhaps due to her mixed cultural heritage and experiences living in Costa Rica, the United States, and Europe. She is considered one of America's earliest, most innovative, and most talented female surrealists. Over the past three years, the historic, rare works of this pioneer female artist have become increasingly sought after by collectors and institutions alike. Her work is characterized by its vivid colors, bold brushstrokes, and dreamlike imagery. Some of her most famous works include 'The Conscience of Pinkerton' (1930), 'Blue Prayer' (about 1930), and 'The Dream' (1931).
