COLOR SCREENPRINT Signed ~ ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST ~ 1953 American J.J. McVICKER

Description: An exceptional Mid-Century modern hand signed color screenprint by noted American printmaker J. Jay McVicker (1911-2004). This 1953 silkscreen print is titled, "Centaur" and was printed in 1953 in a small edition of 30 impressions. Good sized, the image measures 17 x 10 inches, sheet size is approx. 19 3/4 x 13 1/8 inches and it is signed, dated, numbered and titled in pencil by the artist. The paper shows mild and even age toning, minor spotting in the margins, tape remains along upper edge, and a very faint mat shadow, otherwise in excellent condition and will frame up beautifully. Another impression of "Centaur" sold at a Swann auction in 2011 for $1560. J. Jay McVicker (born Jesse Jay McVicker; October 18, 1911 – August 31, 2004) was an American artist. He is known for his printmaking, particularly his early aquatints and later screenprints. McVicker was also active as a painter and sculptor throughout his career. A student of Ella Jack and Doel Reed at Oklahoma State University, McVicker showed early promise as a Regionalist watercolorist and printmaker. After graduating with a BA in 1940 and an MA in 1941, both from Oklahoma State University, he joined the faculty and remained in Stillwater, Oklahoma for the rest of his life. By the time the United States joined the Second World War, McVicker was well-known for his Regionalist prints and watercolors, but within a few years of the war's end, he was dedicated to abstraction and even non-objectivity in all media. Apart from a couple of years in California and in the U.S. Navy, McVicker spent his entire life in Oklahoma. His work, however, was exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting and the Downtown Gallery in New York City, and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris, France. McVicker's work is represented in the permanent collections of: Smithsonian American Art Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Dallas Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art; the Smithsonian American Art Museum and others.
