"Sunset Beach", an original oil on board by listed artist, Albert Patecky. Signed lower right, professionally framed, and measures in frame, 19.5'' H x 16.5'' W. Albert Patecky was a Portland painter and printmaker who created works on both sides of the divide that separated traditional and modern artists in the mid-twentieth century Pacific Northwest. Adept at conventional landscapes and marines, he also created works of extreme abstraction and was thus a pioneer of totally nonrepresentational art in Oregon.
