1975 abstract expressionist serigraph of an Apple and with Eve hidden within the red & blue area above.
The artwork is by the noted New York artist Robert Beauchamp (1923-1995).
The following biography is from the Smithsonian Museum:
Robert Beauchamp studied with Boardman Robinson at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and attended Cranbrook Academy of Art before working with Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann. In 1953 he gave up abstract art, believing it to be too esoteric and remote from immediate life, and returned to painting the figure. Beauchamp’s approach, however, was to “distort, fantasize and pile in the images … to paint objects with the subtleties of natural forms and the subjectivity possible through abstraction.” In the decades after he began exhibiting, Beauchamp received several grants, traveled to Rome on a Fulbright fellowship (1959), and held several teaching positions. A New York resident in his later years, Beauchamp exhibited regularly and painted fanciful, sometimes horrific, scenes in which “reality” provided as important a source of inspiration as did the imagination.
This print is signed by Robert Beauchamp on the lower right and is numbered 26/125 and dated '75 on the lower left.
It is in good preowned condition. The print looks to be in excellent condition inside, the frame has wear: Tears in the brown paper backing could use replacing, small knick on the mid-right side of the frame. The artwork sits a little loose in the frame, could be tightened with a fastener or a small nail. Could be touched up with a little TLC or be reframed altogether.
