About the Item

Mary Chenoweth (American, 1918–1999) Homage to E.W. Original lithograph, Hand signed, titled, and numbered in pencil Image: 19.25 x 12.5 inches Framed: 20.5 x 17.5 x 1 inches A striking example of American mid-century printmaking, Homage to E.W. is an original hand-signed lithograph by acclaimed Colorado modernist Mary Chenoweth. Featuring bold geometric forms floating against a luminous orange field, the composition reflects Chenoweth's sophisticated understanding of color, balance, and abstraction while demonstrating the clean graphic language that defines her most sought-after works. Created as a tribute to fellow artist and educator Emerson Woelffer, this lithograph carries important historical significance within the development of postwar American Modernism. Woelffer, an influential abstract painter and former director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Art School, played a pivotal role in shaping modern art in the American West. Chenoweth's homage celebrates that legacy while remaining a powerful and highly original work in its own right. The composition combines crisp geometric structure with a vibrant modernist palette, creating a work that feels simultaneously architectural, energetic, and timeless. Its refined simplicity makes it equally compelling in contemporary, mid-century modern, and minimalist interiors, while its historical context enhances its appeal for serious collectors of American abstraction. Mary Chenoweth was one of Colorado's most important twentieth-century artists. After earning her BFA from the University of Denver, where she studied with renowned modernist Vance Kirkland, she completed her MFA in Printmaking at the University of Illinois. She later taught for more than three decades at Colorado College after joining the faculty of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Art School, helping shape generations of artists while establishing her own distinguished career in painting, printmaking, collage, and sculpture. This original lithograph is hand signed, titled, and numbered in pencil in the lower margin, affirming its authenticity and collectible appeal. It is professionally presented in a custom wood frame with an archival museum-quality mat and UV70 protective glass, ensuring both exceptional presentation and long-term preservation. A rare opportunity to acquire an original work by one of Colorado's leading modernists, Homage to E.W. is an outstanding addition to collections of mid-century modern art, geometric abstraction, American printmaking, and postwar works on paper. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Professionally framed with archival matting and UV70 protective glass. Detailed condition report available upon request.
