About the Item
Discover a rare and original mixed media collage by celebrated Colorado Springs modernist Mary Chenoweth (1918–1999), a key figure in mid-20th-century American art. This dynamic composition features a biplane soaring above shimmering water, brought to life with acrylic paint, graphite, ink, and intricate paper cutouts. Subtle layers of traditional and simplified Chinese characters add depth and cultural resonance, reflecting Chenoweth’s distinctive balance of bold form, playful abstraction, and thoughtful symbolism.
Executed on paper, the artwork is hand-signed by Mary Chenoweth in the lower left. It is professionally framed in a custom wood frame with archival matting and UV70 protectant glass for lasting preservation and elegant display.
Framed dimensions: 20 × 16 × 1 in, Artwork size: 15 × 12 in
A visually compelling and highly collectible mid-century collage, Biplane Over Water exemplifies Chenoweth’s innovative fusion of modernism, cultural narrative, and mixed media experimentation. Perfect for collectors of American modern art, vintage aviation art, or mid-century mixed media works on paper.
