About the Item

Number 4 in a small edition of only 40 prints. Signed. (I apologize for the reflections on the glass; I did not want to disassemble the frame.) Robert Gordy was an iconic New Orleans painter. He was part of the "Art and Decoration" movement that also included Keith Haring . These figures represent the most classic style of Gordy's work. 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.

Motif, Gold Abstract African American Artist Viola Leak Woodcut Silkscreen Print
By Viola Burley Leak
Located in Surfside, FL
Motif (Abstract) in orange, blue and gold abstract. From the small edition of 10. from 1982. I am not sure if this is a woodcut or woodblock print or a silkscreen screenprint or some combination. Viola Burley Leak, American (1944 - ) Viola Leak was born in Nashville, Tennessee, she received a B.A. in Art from Fisk University, a B.F.A. in Fashion Design from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, an M.A. from Hunter College, NY and an M.F.A. in Media from Howard University, Washington, DC. Leak was an art consultant for both the New York State Board of Education and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Print Department, in addition to working for the Experimental Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institute. Her mixed media work often references religious motifs and those of her African-American experience and heritage. She is a multimedia artist, her works include printmaking, textile designing, soft sculpture, appliqué tapestries, doll making, and multi-media. Viola has studied with many renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, Romare Bearden, Robert Blackburn, and Charles White. Her works can be found in the collections of World Federation of United Nations, New York State Office Building, Manufacturers of Hanover Trust Company, Atlanta Life Insurance Company and many more organizations. Viola's exhibition experience is extensive - more than 100 showings over a decade, national and international. Her quilts exude a miraculous and magical presence. They have traveled in two international shows and three national quilt projects in the past three years. A proud moment for her was being featured in the December 20, 2000 of the Smithsonian magazine; the article praised her mural "Afro Dance Scan" as one of the outstanding artworks in the "When the Spirit Moves: African American Dance...
