David Adickes
Warm-Toned Abstract Modern Village by the Ocean with Boats Landscape

20th Century

About the Item

Modern abstract village landscape by Houston, TX artist David Adickes. This large-scale painting depicts an elevated town by an ocean. The warm-toned color palette suggests a sunrise scene where boats are docked and the town is quiet and ready for a restful evening. Signed by the artist at the lower left corner. Framed in a simple wooden frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 43 in. x W 72 in. 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.
