An intriguing color lithograph on paper titled "Medusa" by American artist Warrington Colescott. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with a 1963 date and annotated 23/30 bottom left. Titled mid bottom. Per the art historian Richard Cox, "Medusa operates on the conflict between good and evil, insidious power versus the fine arts, personified by the serpent woman and the poet muse - symbols that will reappear in many of Colescott's satirical art." From a private collection. Dimensions: 36"h x 34"w x 1"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Warrington Colescott (1921-2018) work can be found in museum collections across the United States and Europe, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, New York Public Library, Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate, Columbus Museum of Art, and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, among others. In his home state of Wisconsin, numerous institutions hold his work; these include the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, the Racine Art Museum, and the Milwaukee Art Museum, which has the largest collection of his work in the world, numbering more than 250 prints, drawings, and paintings.
