“Web” is an original 1950s abstract mixed media painting by important American modernist and New Mexico artist Ward Lockwood (1894–1963). Signed by the artist at the lower right, the composition combines casein and India ink in a sophisticated palette of brown, blue, white, and black. Interwoven lines, organic forms, and layered shapes create a dynamic, web-like structure that reflects Lockwood’s interest in abstraction, experimentation, and modernist design. Lockwood’s work bridges the traditions of American Regionalism, Taos Modernism, and postwar abstraction. His experience in Europe, exposure to Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh, and later involvement with the Taos art community and Federal Art Project helped shape a career defined by continual artistic exploration. The painting is presented in a substantial custom frame, making it an excellent statement piece for a modern, contemporary, or Southwestern interior. It is particularly appealing to collectors seeking historically significant American modernist painting associated with Taos and New Mexico. Frame Dimensions: 29 ¾ x 23 x 2 inches Image Size: 26 x 20 inches About the Artist Born in Kansas in 1894, Ward Lockwood studied at the University of Kansas and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before serving in the U.S. Army during World War I.
