Description: On offer, we have "Moment Musical" by American artist Ivan Messenger (1895-1983). The artist has written in pencil the title 'Moment Musical" and his signature. This shows a serious quartet creating music in a Mid-Century Modernist style. On off-white paper, this measures approximately 11 1/2" X 15" with the image 9 3/4" X 13". About the artist: Ivan Messenger is best known as a lithographer and painter. Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1895, he earned an M.A. from Stanford University in 1921. In 1926, he held his first solo exhibition and later taught at San Diego State University and held classes in life drawing in Balboa Park’s Fine Art Gallery. His most productive period was prior to 1945. He was a watercolorist who was equally talented with pastels, crayon, gouache, ink, gesso and oil. He is also known for his paintings of the desert and back country near San Diego. He was a member of the Laguna Beach Art Association, California Watercolor Society. This print in excellent condition. It is bold, clear and clean. It has been handled and has a few light wrinkles. There are tape marks on the corners, the top margin and top of the back from where it was once in a matte. As I am not an expert on art, please view my photographs for more description. My elegant friend is moving to a much smaller home and parting with some of her treasures. I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping.
