Margaret Smith “Near the Zócalo” Abstract Impressionist Cityscape Oil Painting
About the Item
A signed late 1970s/early 1980s large abstract impressionist cityscape oil painting on board titled “Near the Zócalo”, by American artist Margaret Smith.
The Zócalo is the common name of the main square in Mexico City—known formally as Plaza de la Constitución—which prior to the colonial period was the ceremonial center of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The historic square and surrounding streets have played a pivotal role in the city's planning, politics, and culture for nearly 700 years. It's just a block away from the Templo Mayor, which according to Aztec mythology was considered to be the center of the Universe.
This sweeping view of the area is skillfully rendered in subtly complex golden tones and palette knife-applied textures that convey a sunny, spacious, and vibrant sense of place. Displays a distinct mid-century modern aesthetic, with proportions that invite placement above a sofa or console table, and colors that would brighten any room.
Signed on the front at right, and signed and titled on the back. In beveled ecru painted mat with dark warm grey painted frame.

- Herbert Laurence Davidson “Young Boy on Carousel”, Oil Painting, 1960sLocated in San Francisco, CAA poignant 1960s oil painting on canvas depicting a young boy on a stationary carousel by important mid-century American artist Herbert Laurence Davidson (b. 1930–2018). A characteristically sensitive portrait by the artist, with his subject's red-eyed expression and dejected body language suggesting that there would be no more rides that day. With a well-earned reputation as a skilled American Realist, the short, finely hashed brushstroke technique that Davidson employs to achieve a detailed, luminous effect is all the more impressive upon closer examination.
