James Montgomery Flagg Mixed Media

American, 1877-1960

James Montgomery Flagg was a prodigious illustrator, working as a contributing artist to Life magazine at the surprisingly young age of 14. Flagg was born on June 18, 1877, in the Village of Pelham. He is most famous for creating the first image of the fictional Uncle Sam. His ‘I Want You’ lithographed image of Uncle Sam was published in 1917, during the First World War. It is storied that Flagg used his own image as the model for Uncle Sam, imagining himself as a much older man and with facial hair. Flagg died on May 27, 1960, in New York.

James Meek Geometric Abstract Drawing, Taos, New Mexico, Mid-Century

By James Meek

Located in Denver, CO

A sophisticated mid-century geometric abstract drawing by American Southwestern artist James Meek (1928–), created in pen and graphite on paper. Characterized by precisely constructed geometric forms, rhythmic lines and carefully balanced areas of positive and negative space, the work demonstrates Meek’s distinctive interest in design, structure and abstraction. The drawing has a refined, almost architectural quality, with repeated forms and pointillist passages creating visual rhythm and depth. Its restrained graphic character makes it equally compelling as a work of American modernism, geometric abstraction or Southwestern modern art. James Meek was an important member of the Taos, New Mexico art...

Hilaire Hiler 1960 Abstract Structuralist Painting, New Mexico Modernist

By Hilaire Hiler

Located in Denver, CO

This original 1960 abstract gouache and graphite on paper painting by Hilaire Hiler (1898–1966) exemplifies his distinctive structuralist style and modernist vision. Created during his influential period in New Mexico, the artwork features soothing, harmonious tones of pink and blue, expertly layered to evoke a sense of calm and balance. Signed in the lower right corner, this mid-century modern piece measures 15 ½ x 18 ¾ inches framed, with an image size of 14 x 17 ½ inches. Hilaire Hiler’s work stands out for its intellectual rigor and visual harmony, blending abstraction with a structuralist approach that explores color, form, and rhythm. About the Artist: Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Hiler received extensive art training at the Rhode Island School of Design, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the University of Paris. Between 1919 and 1934, he lived in Paris, working as a jazz pianist while engaging deeply with the European avant-garde. After returning to the U.S., Hiler painted WPA murals for San Francisco’s Aquatic Park...
