Apart from her name and the years in which she was creatively active (as deduced from her other dated work), we know little about the identity of ELIANE ADINGRA, the painter of this busy predawn harborscape. Intriguingly, she shares a surname with the accomplished Afro-Cubist painter, Georges-Ebrin Adingra (1933-2005), a name that is highly suggestive of Ivorian heritage (perhaps by way of marriage). The many Parisian place names in the titles of her other pieces would support the theory. Mixed media: gouache, watercolor, and probably ink. Available without a frame for now, we have designs to build one that will enclose the glue residue left from old mattings. Signed and dated.
