William Tolliver Signed Limited Edition Abstract Serigraph Print Natural Beauty

About the Item

A wonderfully designed, complexly composed abstract serigraph print by prominent African American artist William Tolliver (1951-2000) titled "Natural Beauty". The piece, featuring a portrait of a beautiful woman with a flower vase, was printed in 25 colors using hand lithography printmaking techniques on 100% acid free archival paper. Tolliver used a wide spectrum of colors (which are quite vivid and bold) for this work. The abstract form and design of the woman is reminiscent of works by modernist painters Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, and Marc Chagall. The limited edition large print is hand pencil signed, titled, and numbered (179/350) by Tolliver in the lower margin. William Tolliver rose to fame in the art world in the late 20th century. He was born in 1951 on a farm in in Vicksburg, Mississippi and grew up with thirteen siblings. He was essentially a self taught artist who learned by reading books and paint-by-the-numbers kits at home. By the 1980's he was married and living in Lafayette, Louisiana and had already massed a large body of work but lacked the confidence to promote himself. It was his wife who took snuck some of his paintings out and took them to a local gallery where they proved to be an immediate success. Tolliver was a versatile artist who handled figure studies, portraits, human interest situations, landscapes, and semi-abstracts equally well. He is remembered for his mastery of color, harmony, and design. Today his works can be found in numerous private collections and museums including the Corcoran Museum, McKissick Museum, Hampton University Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Zigler Museum. He has been featured in major art publications, including The Art Gallery International and the International Review of African American Art. This piece would be a great addition to any William Tolliver or Black Art collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent artwork in about any setting. It is has been professionally matted and framed and is ready to display. Framed dimensions: 47" high, 34.5" wide, 1.25" deep Viewable art: 37.5" high x 24.5" wide
