About the Item
This vintage original lithograph by celebrated American modernist Mary Chenoweth (1918–1999) presents a dynamic abstract interpretation of birds in flight. Chenoweth’s innovative printmaking technique—layering textured paint and pigment—creates a rich interplay of color, form, and pattern that captures both the grace and energy of movement. The result is a bold and sophisticated composition that reflects her distinctive contribution to mid-century modern art.
The lithograph is signed and numbered by the artist in the lower margin, underscoring its rarity and authenticity. It is beautifully presented in a custom wood frame with archival matting and UV70 protectant glass, ensuring both preservation and display quality. The framed dimensions measure 34 ¼ x 27 ¼ x 1 ½ inches, with an image (sight) size of 24 ¼ x 18 ¼ inches.
Chenoweth’s work is highly regarded for its inventive approach to abstraction and remains sought-after by collectors of mid-20th-century American prints. This piece exemplifies her ability to merge bold modernist design with lyrical movement, making it a striking addition to any collection of mid-century modern, abstract, or Colorado-based art.
