About the Item

Artist: Earnie Barnes (1938-2009) Title: Destination Unknown Year: 1979 Medium: Lithograph on archival paper Size: 25 x 19.5 inches Edition: 120/300, plus proofs Condition: Good Inscription: Signed and numbered by the artist in pencil ERNIE BARNES (1938-2009) An American painter whose artwork reflected African-American lifestyles. As a skilled athlete in numerous sports during his early years of age, Barnes went on to play professional football, and after a five year career, he decided to retire from the sport and paint full-time. It is apparent in his work that he was searching for the perfect medium between racial and ethnic harmony, and many of his paintings reflect it. Barnes continues today to be one of the most widely collected African-American painters of his time.

Riptide Study, Danny Galieote, Conte and Gouache, Figurative, Americana Pop
By Danny Galieote
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
DANNY GALIEOTE Riptide Study Conté and Gouache on Archival Paper 30 x 24 1/2 inches, Framed Danny Galieote has a propensity for capturing the quintessentials of Americana in works that blend realist narratives with a pop sensibility.
