About the Item

Fine Art Aquatint Etching of Gordes, in Provence, France - "Legendary Provence" by Ronald Stephen Riddick Beautiful aquatint etching of a sunset over iconic Provence French town, Gordes by Ronald Stephen Riddick (American, b. 1952), 1978. #184/250 images. Titled "Legendary Provence," this aquatint with its three hues of blue, green and orange is visually arresting with enough abstraction to keep this painting fresh and interesting upon each viewing. A yellow-to-orange sun dominates the sky promising a warm day. The weight of the green landscape foreground creates a balanced composition. Signed and Dated: Lower right corner "R.S. Riddick 1978" Series number: 184 out of 250 Medium: Aquatint etching on paper Condition: Good; minor tonal edging lower edge of paper Image size: 22"H x 32.50"W Paper size:24"H x 34.75"W Mat size: 25"H x 38"W Ron Riddick is a versatile artist whose portfolio is comprised of a variety of subjects, from cowboy and Indian scenes to European landscapes and still lifes. Born in Santa Monica, California, his art was encouraged by his father who was an art director for a major corporation. As a kid, Ron growing up in southern California, was enamored of Roy Rogers and western movies. He studied extensively at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles and then worked as a commercial artist. His life changed when he enrolled in a painting class by Sergei Bongart, who freed him to paint for himself instead of clients and to strive for art that is emotional and touches the soul. In 1979, Ron moved to Arizona and in October, 1997, was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America. His studio is a 5000 square foot building ten miles east of Tucson. He has one studio for teaching, an important part of his life, and another for himself. His wife, Natalie, handles the business affairs of his career. With plein-air easel, he frequently attends roundups. He tries very hard not to get stereotyped because he thinks art should reflect life, which is a rich composite. In 2000, Riddick won the Frederic Remington Award at the Prix de West, Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, for his painting of two Lakota Sioux sisters, "Lakota Water Maidens." Riddick was awarded a gold medal for his gouache painting, Prairie Storm Coming" at the 37th Annual (2002) Cowboy Artists of America Sale and Exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum.

While attending art school in Paris he studied under Charles Walter, where he learnt the techniques of etching and practiced by copying the most famous artists and visited all the museums to learn more about the masterpieces of past and present. In 1925, he underwent military service at Fort de Domont outside Paris together with Louis-Joseph Soulas and Edouard Mac-Avoy. Four years later, with a few other up-and-coming artists including Yves Alix, Amédée de la Patellière and Jacques Villon, André Jacquemin founded "la jeune Gravure Contemporaine", a society of Printmakers. In 1930, he simultaneously received the Foundation Florence Blumenthal prize and an allowance to go on a study trip from Spain to Morocco for 14 months. Back from Morocco, his career developed very rapidly. At the beginning of 1932, he exhibited his work at the Simonson gallery. It was a success: he sold everything he had done in Morocco and Spain. The same year, he was elected as a fellow of the French Society of Painter-Etchers/Engravers (Peintres Graveurs Français). In 1936, he was awarded the national arts prize, given for the first time to an etcher.
