About the Item

"Bird on a Wire" The Crow - Acrylic on Canvas Playful depiction of a crow by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). The crow is shown with green and yellow tinted feathers, although the overall impression is that of a black bird. There is movement in the composition, as if the bird has just landed or is about to take flight. Signed and dated in the lower left corner: de Silva 86 Canvas size: 20"H x 16"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg, Alice Robertson Carr, Deborah Eve Alastra, Russell Kelly, and Diana Mark.
