About the Item

Beautiful and serene, this silkscreen is titled "Waiting for Sunday" by DuWayne Boyd Higgins (American, 1927-2019) is a perfect nautical piece. Titled center and signed lower right. Condition: Some foxing to paper. New acid free over-mat. Displayed in golden metal frame, shipped without glass. Image, 19"H x 24"W. DuWayne Higgins was born om 1927 on St. Patrick's Day in Faith, South Dakota, a grandson of a homestead farmer and his dad a blacksmith, his mother a hairdresser. In 1935 he moved with his family to Los Angeles. After high school, DuWayne attended Santa Monica City College as an art major for two years. He knew he wanted to be an artist at an early age. He then studied painting with Boris Deautsch at Otis Art Institute, followed by enrolling at Chouinard Art Institute (now California Institute of the Arts) where he studied under the tutorship of Richard Haines and Rex Brandt, while developing his direct and robust style. DuWayne also studied silkscreen print making (serigraphs) at Jepson Art Institute (Los Angeles) under the direction of Guy Maccoy and in addition, was inspired by William Brice's painting classes. To gain understanding of varying aesthetics, DuWayne also attended night classes at the Bisttram School of Design (Los Angeles, closed 1951) and Art Center School (now Art Center College of Design). During the 1970s when Guy Maccoy was especially busy with commissioned work, DuWayne helped him with making color separations by using his own huge wooden process camera in his garage studio. He worked as a graphic artist in Presentations/Art Departments-- first at Douglas Aircraft, then Hughes Aircraft for many years. He continued painting throughout his life, often creating perceptive, colorful scenes from his harbor surroundings and travels. After retiring, he and his wife moved to San Pedro where he became a member of the San Pedro Art Association.

  • This Way Out, colorful graphic amusement park with text
    By Philomena Marano
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    Silkscreen Edition of 125 + 1AP Philomena Marano has spent decades “penetrat[ing] the soul of Coney Island to reveal its twin promises of candy-colored paradise and garishly ornate nightmare,” as Ann Aptaker describes, through the prints and cut-paper collage in her “American Dream-land” series (1979-). These colorful, graphic style works evoke the energy and amusement of Coney Island through depictions of the rides, the boardwalk, clowns, and food vendors. Many are large-scale papier collé installations, a technique Marano learned from Robert Indiana in whose studio she formerly assisted. In conjunction with “American Dream Land,” in 1981 Marano and Richard Eagan co-founded the Coney Island Hysterical Society, which undertakes projects such as restoring old rides in response to the alarming rate at which they were shutting down in the fabled amusement park of their childhood. Ms. Marano is a daughter of Brooklyn. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute, is an intimate of the visual poetry of Coney Island, created the winning poster for the first Spirit of Brooklyn poster...
