About the Item
This striking limited edition serigraph, titled “Thoreau’s Esteem,” was created by artist Thomas Lely in 1970. The bold abstract composition layers vivid greens, deep blacks, and a brilliant central blue, evoking both the strength of natural landscapes and the meditative quiet of transcendentalist philosophy. The title references Henry David Thoreau, suggesting an artistic homage to the American writer’s reverence for nature and simplicity.
The print is hand-signed and dated in pencil by the artist, “Thomas Lely ’70,” and numbered 31/100. Measuring approximately 22 inches square in its vintage brass-toned frame, this work reflects the mid-century modern aesthetic of minimal color-blocked abstraction. The serigraph technique, with its sharp lines and vibrant saturated color, emphasizes the geometric yet organic forms that define the piece.
Ideal for collectors of mid-20th century American art, limited-edition prints, or nature-inspired abstraction, this artwork adds a bold visual statement while carrying historical significance from the early 1970s art scene.
