Paul Chidlaw, Framed Small Abstract Serigraph 9

A cloud-like shape in brilliant blue, this abstract serigraph by late midwestern artist Paul Chidlaw has an otherworldly quality. We think it looks especially ethereal framed in gleaming silver leaf.

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.
