Number 2 in an edition of only prints! Signed and numbered; Rives watermark. Unframed. Robert Gordy was an iconic New Orleans painter. He was part of the "Art and Decoration" movement that also included Keith Haring. This is a classic style for Gordy - the nudes, the geometric forms - a really good one, with great colors. 

Please note that the print has some foxing and fading, and you might want to frame it so that the margin is largely covered, leaving the signature and number showing (this is what we would do). As you can see, it displays nicely and brightly - we photographed it in natural light with no glass so you can see the actual condition if you look closely. The foxing and fading are faint, but there - will be hard to see unless you are really looking for it once in a frame. 

Proudly offered by Guy Lyman Fine Art of New Orleans, with our firm guarantee.

Robert Gordy Bio 

Balancing a clean, formal graphic approach with creativity, wit and verve, Robert Gordy created a style of painting that is instantly recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with his work. Sometimes placed in a category with Keith Haring, he created images that exploited patterns and simplicity of form. He had a wonderful sense of color as well. 

Gordy’s Artmaking 

Robert Gordy was unusual in his frequent use of markers, pens and ink to create his images – which are so clean that they look to a contemporary eye to be machine or computer-created. He was enraptured with print-making, and produced many limited-edition print series’. Robert Gordy’s works are in museums worldwide, including the Whitney, MoMA, the Smithsonian and other top-tier institutions
