About the Item
Number 84 in an edition of 100 prints. Signed.
Robert Gordy was an iconic New Orleans painter. He was part of the "Art and Decoration" movement that also included Keith Haring . This is a classic style for Gordy - the nudes, the geometric forms - a really good one, with great colors.
Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.
Robert Gordy bio
Balancing a clean, formal graphic approach with creativity, wit and verve, Robert Gordy created a style of painting that is instantly recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with his work. Sometimes placed in a category with Keith Haring, he created images that exploited patterns and simplicity of form. He had a wonderful sense of color as well.
Gordy’s artmaking
Robert Gordy was unusual in his frequent use of markers, pens and ink to create his images – which are so clean that they look to a contemporary eye to be machine or computer-created. He was enraptured with print-making, and produced many limited-edition print series’. Robert Gordy’s works are in museums worldwide, including the Whitney, MoMA, the Smithsonian and other top-tier institutions.
The screen print still has a label on back, as shown, from the prestigious New Orleans gallery Simonne Stern, and yes, you can see its price from the 1980s (but sorry, I paid $600 for it at auction in 2020 so you cannot have it for that 30-something year-old price! I have to make at least a small profit after what I paid plus the other costs are taken out)! Gordy screen prints are unmistakable in their style - you know the artist in an instant.

Transigent (Abstract Contemporary Painting, Framed)
By G. Campbell Lyman
Located in New Orleans, LA
(Comes professionally framed in a solid maple floater frame, ready to hang)
Artist's Statement
"This series of intensely colorful paintings was begun a couple of years back in reaction to the gray oppressive weight that had descended like a pall on the American scene. I wanted to make paintings about nothing but pure delight, in honor of the fact that beneath the fog of germs and political antagonism, we still eat, laugh, love and if we're wise, acknowledge how spectacularly fortunate we are -- at least for now, in this time and place, despite the problems. For me, the colors, forms and brushstrokes here feel exuberant without suggesting an unnerving chaos. I have purposely used unlikely color combinations that despite their dissonance seem to work together. I don't feel this is a time to be making brooding works that reflect the problems we are working our way through; we all know about this. On the contrary, I think it's a time for art...
