About the Item
One of the finest midcentury architectural renderings we have ever seen, this large and vivid painting executed in gouache and oil on board was created by the Cleveland architectural firm of Richard Hawley Cutting Associates around 1960. Although the Claridge Tower may not have been built, its melding of International Style "form follows function" and the more flamboyant approach of architects like Morris Lapidus is persuasive and beautiful to our eyes today. The painting itself, by T. Marshall Rainey, is stunning and gorgeously detailed. The building's windows and balconies are precisely depicted, the mid-century automobiles -- some with fins -- make the period come alive, and the brilliant blues of the sky are vivid and joyous. The Richard Hawley Cutting firm designed the Shaker Club apartments in the late 1940s and is known to have proposed a major housing complex along the Lake Erie shoreline in the 1950s, so this building may also have been designed for a site on Lake Erie.
