Artist Biography: Born (1927) and raised in Huntsville, TX, David Adickes is an artist whose art and heart are closely aligned with Paris, France. After studying art at the Atelier F. Leger in the late 40s, Adickes burst onto the art scene in Houston and elsewhere in the early 50s and has been a prominent member of Houston’s art community ever since. While his most visible works are his giant sculptures, from the Virtuoso in downtown Houston to the 76-foot Sam Houston in his hometown of Huntsville, David Adickes has for decades produced paintings that have been acclaimed in numerous art exhibitions and galleries, both in the United States and internationally. Moreover, his paintings continue to delight collectors with a distinct blend of classic style, delightful palette, and a touch of whimsy.

    By Francis X Pavy
    Located in Lafayette, LA
    Entitled The Eagle Flies on Friday, this work on paper depicts a Bald eagle flying in the late afternoon on a Friday. The two guitars crossed in the upper left-hand corner and a French accordion hidden in the left bottom right corner give a celebratory feel to the image. A distant flock of purple swifts inhabit the right upper middle portion of the image. A purple indigo plant overlays the turquoise Spanish guar on the left. Undulating light blue lines depict water flowing overlay an emerging dark blue palmetto partially obscuring the accordion on the bottom right corner. A blue orb above the eagle symbolizes the New Blue moon signaling new beginnings. This is a unique multiple oil relief print on paper. Unique. because it's one of a kind. Although printmaking processes are used there are no multiples made. Only one. This work is made by printing with different relief blocks multiple times, brush painting, and airbrushing. The ink and paints used are oil-based. Because of the multiple printing techniques, the reverse contains notations in graphite pencil, and ink colors to be used on blocks. Also on the reverse, there is residual ink from the printing process. Signed and dated en verso ( on the Back). Writing on the back reads THe Eagle Flies on Friday (title) ©2014 Francis X Pavy...
