About the Item

Wonderful mid-century abstract serigraph by Kenneth William Auvil (American, b. 1925.) This serigraph features botanical and floral motifs in a bright color palette of yellows and oranges, contrasted with warm reds and umbers. Throughout the piece there are clusters of shapes which are evocative of petals or leaves. Lively clusters of these shapes spill out from the center of the composition, while there are areas of visual rest found along the top and bottom, providing a sense of space and depth. Mat size: 27" H x 34" W Paper size: 23.5" H x 30.5" W Image size: 20.75" H x 28.5" W Titled, numbered, and signed along bottom edge, "'Sun Dance' S(?) Kenneth W Auvil." Another print from the same series is dated 1959 after the signature and given a total series number of 29. Kenneth William Auvil was born in Ryderwood, Washington in 1925. He attended the University of Washington where he received a B.A. in 1949 and an M.F.A. in 1953. He taught printmaking at San Jose State University in California from 1956 until his retirement in 1988. His mid-century work is defined by his abstract serigraphs based on landscapes and other natural phenomenon. His work is held in the permanent collections of National Gallery of Art, the De Young Museum in San Francisco, and the Portland Museum of Art. He died in 1999.
