Morris Katz was a Polish-American painter. He holds two Guinness World Records as the world's fastest painter and the world's most prolific artist. Beautiful floral still life of a vase of white and coral daisies in a vase or urn. In heavy oil impasto style with bold and vivid russet colors.This has Morris Katz easy-to-recognize trademark style. Signed "Morris Katz 70" lower right. (please look closely as the date slightly tucked behind fame). Presented in a frame original for the era and the piece.

"Morris Katz was born in Poland in 1932, and at age 13 studied art under Hans Fokler of the Munich Academy, one of Germany’s most prestigious Art Schools. Katz made his way to America in 1949, landing a job in New York as a budding carpenter while honing his skills as a painter."

The board in back shows that the piece was purchase from the Morris Katz Art Studio and Gallery, 406 6th Ave, New York, NY. Wonderful find in a collectors estate. Although the care of her things were not the best after her passing, this shows some soiling at the bottom and minor flaking below signature.
