Paul Chidlaw, Framed Abstract Print 4

A crisp color scheme and captivating shapes lend this abstract print by late midwestern artist Paul Chidlaw a graphic sensibility. We paired it with a to-die-for 19th-century gold leaf frame for an exquisitely refined effect.

A student at L'École des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau during the 1920's, Paul Chidlaw had a varied and prolific career in the art world. He painted commissions for the WPA, became a revered professor at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and mentored luminaries like Tom Wesselmann and Jim Dine. He was also an early proponent of Abstract Expressionism. Chidlaw passed away in 1989.
