Guy Williams (1932-2004)
Born in San Diego, Guy Williams was a primarily self-taught painter,
having attended Monty Lewis' Coronado School of Art for a short time
on a scholarship. In the 1950s he became one of the leading contemporary
painters and teachers in San Diego, where he shared a Spanish Village
studio with Fred Holle for a time and later taught the School of Arts
and Crafts at the Art Center in La Jolla. After leaving San Diego
in 1964, Williams taught at Chouinard Art Institute, Pomona College
and UC Santa Barbara.
An avid printmaker
during his San Diego years, Guy Williams was particularly interested
in monotypes. These he exhibited with the San Diego Art Guild, at
the Art Center in La Jolla and in the 1959 survey exhibition "Arts
of Southern California - V: Prints," at the Long Beach Museum
of Art. Williams also contributed to the "Black Folio"
of original woodcuts with six other local all-stars (printed in
1961 by Irwin Hollander and exhibited the same year at the Art Center
La Jolla) and published his own books incorporating monotypes: "The
Painter's Notebook" and "Poems For Painters."
- Description:
An early and sizable silk screen print done while Williams was working
at the Art Center in La Jolla. Prints from editions by Williams are
scarce, as he is frequently associated with monotypes and mixed technique
printmaking. This example is signed and numbered two from an edition
of ten. Note the edges from the top of a paper bag used in this composition.
