Large Vintage and Rare Beautiful Theodore Degroot Folk Art of Flowers.

Very Large Theodore Degroot Folk Art Wood lath signed on Lr. Approx. 25x35 inches Theodore "Dick" De Groot (1920–2019) is widely considered the pioneer of vintage wood lath art. He was a Dutch-born sculptor and painter who immigrated to the United States in 1959. In the 1960s, he created the very first prototypes of lath art. He established a factory near Frenchtown, New Jersey. Because Austin Productions ceased making these home decor lines decades ago, De Groot's original lath art has become highly collectible for those seeking mid-century modern, cottagecore, or rustic farmhouse aesthetics.
