Mid-Century Serigraph " Ojai Morning 2 " ROBERT A. SMITH 1960 Framed SIGNED EUC

Description: Expressive midcentury serigraph captures a majestic , lone raven rising against the stark sun and lush, wind-blown grasses of a breathtaking sunrise in the legendary countryside of Ojai, California. A noted Southern California artist whose work hung in LBJ's White House , Robert A ( " R.A.") Smith combined a successful animation career with his fine art achievements, which included an impressive roster of one-man shows, multiple prestigious awards and significant representation in many important collections. This dynamic, gestural piece, done in a cool, limited palette of greens, blacks, golds and blues, is called, lyrically " Ojai Morning #2. " ( The artist was known for his dedication to the Southern California region to which he is native). Its powerful, stylized lines and free, spontaneous energy clearly evidence the influence of the then-groundbreaking Ab-Ex movement. The work, which features a defining landscape orientation ( framed dimensions are approx. 13 x 39," image itself is. 9.5 x 29"), is in EUC with no tears, rubs, water or insect damage, fading or other condition issues. ( Border paper is somewhat yellowed, as would be expected in a 64-year old work on paper). Frame is deep and solidly constructed. Authentic, original work is clearly signed both within the piece, and in pencil on the border, where the artist has inscribed the title as well as his signature. There is a third marking that appears to read "E58" and possibly refers to an edition of 58, but that is just my speculation. Stunning midcentury work is tastefully framed in a very period-centric frame and fitted with hanging hardware on the reverse. It ships USPS Ground Advantage from Los Angeles.
