Description
Mid-Century abstract artwork, pen and ink drawing signed by artist, dated c.1962, featuring abstract female fashion figures depicted through varying line weights and pen strokes. Custom framed exclusively for THE TASTEMAKER SHOPPE in a lush patina leathered frame (over original aged-linen matte) with premium museum-quality glass.
It's particularly special because this drawing was originally placed by Interior Decorator Michael S. Smith in actor Jim Belushi's Brentwood, CA estate. Smith is one of the most esteemed talents in the design industry today, known for blending European classicism and modernism. His work is layered and tailored with casual refinement. His A-List clients include the White House for President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, Steven Spielberg, Cindy Crawford, Dustin Hoffman, George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Rupert Murdoch. Early in his career, Smith apprenticed under legendary antique dealer Gep Durenberger and iconic designer John Saladino. As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the storied pieces I seek - knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy. A treasured find for collectors and interior design enthusiasts of one-of-a-kind pieces. If you enjoy a story with great provenance, this art is for you!
