Mid Century Eames Era City Building Scene by Carley Craig '61

Fine Art : Mid Century Modern

 

At first glance it seems to be a modest piece, but on closer look you'll see clever use of materials that give it a depth and personality that the mass produced works of that time period don't have.

Painted on raw, rough plywood you'll see plenty of movement and texture, with areas of thick paint scraped away to depict the tree branches.

Over her lifetime Carley Craig has produced many works in a variety of styles - her bio includes costume design, sculpture, cartooning, watercolors and other media. What I have seen of her work consistently shows a mastering of simple forms and strong lines.

Her work is well worth collecting and preserving!

DETAILS

Unsure of the medium - could be gouache, or an oil with ink wash on 1/4" plywood; measures 22" x 15"; unframed.

CONDITION

VERY GOOD - edges of board have chips; due to the selection of the rough side of the plywood to paint on, you will see the grain and other natural imperfections - this was intentional to give the painting more texture.
