Description: This beautiful piece of art is a signed original painting by the talented and listed Dorothy Louise Bowman. The framed painting measures approximately 16 inches in height, 14 inches in length, and 1 inch in width. It is framed and ready to be displayed in your home. The actual work of art measures approximately 10.5” x 8.25”. The artist's unique style of modernism is evident in the piece, making it a great addition to any art collection. The painting is perfect for those who appreciate original mid century modern art. This piece is a Rare Original, Not one of her more common signed Serigraphs which are much more common. This is a wonderful example of her semi-abstract impressionist style. The painting itself is in really good condition but could use a cleaning and has had two small cracks in the paint starting to form left of the tree. One small dent in the frame on the right side and lower middle. The paper was sealed extra tight on the backing and over time holes have formed. Easy to correct but I’m leaving it original for the buyer to choose what to do. Truly a museum piece. Please see pictures for additional information and feel free to email any questions. From annexgalleries.com: Dorothy Louise Bowman, painter and printmaker, was born in Hollywood, California on 20 January 1927. She studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles under Rico LeBrun and Jean Charlot. She furthered her studies at the Jepson Art Institute and the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Art Institute, and at Webster College in St Louis. Dorothy met fellow artist Howard Bradford, also a painter and printmaker, while studying at Chouinard. They married and eventually settled in Big Sur, California where she painted with her friend and neighbor, the author, Henry Miller. Bowman was a member of the Western Serigraphic Society and she received numerous awards for her serigraphs. Her work was shown at the Brooklyn Museum’s National Print Show between 1954 and 1962, and the Library of Congress National Print Shows and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston shows between the years 1954 and 1971. She was selected for Fifty American Printmakers, an exhibition that was circulated by American Federation of Arts to Japan and Moscow. Bowman also received commissions from the International Graphic Arts Society. Former Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts Director, E. Gunter Troche, wrote of her work: “Dorothy Bowman specializes in serigraphs with a Californian flavor. She has been able to give to this technique an intricacy of design and a luminescence of color seldom reached by others. The recent cityscapes of Dorothy Bowman are aglow with excitement in their moody yet stimulating contrasts”. Bowman’s work is represented in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston; the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the British Museum, London; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library; the Achenbach Foundation for Graphics Arts, San Francisco; the Library of Congress and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
