Sea Light by Richard Florsheim
Richard A. Florsheim 1916-1979 A prominent twentieth century American printmaker, painter, sculptor, educator and writer, Florsheim first studied at the University of Chicago before going to New York to study at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Metropolitan Museum, under Aaron Bohrod. His education was completed in Paris at the Musee Nationale dArt Moderne. Richard Florsheim gained international recognition in the late 1930s when he first began exhibiting his art at such major institutions as the Salon des Refuses Paris, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Art. During the following years his original prints and paintings were shown at numerous public galleries both in the United States and in Europe.
Richard A. Florsheim was a full member of the American Graphic Artists, the Audubon Artists, the Artists Equity Association and the prestigious National Academy of Design. During his career he received such major conferments as the Art Institute of Chicago Award (1946), the Pennell Fund Award (1950) and the Library of Congress Award (1956). His original lithographs and paintings are included in numerous public museums in America, Britain, France and Germany.
Sea Light is a black and white lithograph of a coastal scene. It incorporates many of Florsheim's artistic techniques including a tall, compressed perspective, exuberant use of reflections, contrasts of light and dark, and, as with many of his coastal works, a profusion of gulls. This is one of his favorite subjects, one that he returns to throughout his career. The image size is given above. The sheet size is 13 x 17.75 inches. It is pencil signed by the artist lower right and there is a pencil notation Artist Proof lower left. The title is given in pencil lower center. The lithograph is in excellent condition with no damage, tears, or fading. There is a slight crease at the very lower left, but well away from the image. A beautiful example of the artist's monochrome work.
