- Item:
Drawing
with Shaped Frame
- Designer/Maker:
Barney Reid - took his masters thesis in lithography at
The State University of Iowa. Reid moved to San Diego about 1950,
after
teaching at ASU from 1946-49, and went into business selling screen-printed
fabrics. Renowned for his enamel work, he was a consummate craftsman
and worked in metal, clay, wood, marble and other media. A member
of the Allied Craftsmen and the San Diego Art Guild, Reid was employed
as a graphic designer by the U. S. Navy. From the late 70's until
his demise, he worked in printmaking almost exclusively.
- Description:
Ink on paper/painted masonite. Although some paintings and drawings
from the late 40s, 50s & 60s done in Reid's early abstract/geometric
style exist, they are very scarce. Used as decoration for many of
his pots from the 1940s and 50s, various patterns of interlocking
lines appear repeatedly in his painting and printed fabrics. Reid's
sculptural tendency is revealed by the addition of his carved and
painted frame. From the estate of Barney and Sue Reid.
- Dimensions:
12" x 14“
- Condition:
Much of
the paper appears to have been eaten by insects; this creates an interesting
texture that gives the drawing a weathered appearance. The frame is
smudged from handling over time.
- Price: SOLD
