About the Item

"Boat House" - Multi Layer Screen Print in Ink on Heavy Cardstock Mid-century modern design of the San Diego Harbor boat house by H. Wilson Smith (Wilson H. Smith)(American, 1901-1981). This scene is created in a characteristic mid-century style, with lots of vertical lines. The outlines have a minimalist feel, but the coloration is partially abstracted, creating a contrast between the two styles. Signed "H W Smith" in the lower right corner. Titled "Boat House" in the lower left corner. Presented in a black wood frame. Frame size: 17"H x 14"W Image size: 15.5"H x 12.5"W H. Wilson Smith (Wilson H. Smith) (American, 1901-1981) was born in Nebraska on May 7, 1901, (Father William H. smith). Smith was a resident of Richmond, CA in 1932 and Los Angeles in 1937-38. Smith moved to San Diego where he operated his own advertising art firm. He was responsible for designs used in the 1965 New York World’s Fair, designed three covers for the Saturday Evening Post, and had work published in House Beautiful Magazine. He was a finalist in the third annual Benedictine Art Awards in 1965. He died in San Diego, CA on July 8, 1981.
