Yellow Tail I
By Sherron Francis
Located in Austin, TX
Waterline Fine Art, Austin, TX is pleased to present the following work: Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Signed, titled, and dated verso. 40 x 76.5 in. 41.75 x 78.25 in. (framed) Custom framed in a solid, unfinished maple floater. Provenance Watson/de Nagy & Company, Houston Private Collection, New York Sherron Francis was born in 1940, in Downers Grove, IL outside of Chicago. She originally enrolled at the University of Oklahoma, but later transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute to focus more on art. Initially, Francis' practice was focused on figurative art, with visiting professor and renowned modern realist Philip Pearlstein remarking on Francis’ draftsman acumen. In the early 1960s, art dealers and gallerists from New York would visit the Institute to entice promising artists by offering scholarships and financial aid. Because such financial arrangements were only made for men, Francis had to persuade the school's leadership to allow for women to also be eligible for merit-based aid. Her advocacy was successful, and she ultimately graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1963. She would then proceed to obtain her MFA from the University of Indiana, before assuming a teaching position at Eastern Michigan University. In 1968, with only $300 on hand, Francis moved to 16 Waverly Place in SoHo, New York. The neighborhood was a hotbed for young AbEx artists of the day, and she quickly befriended the likes of Peter Reginato, Walter Darby Bannard, Michael Steiner, Peter Young, Peter Bradley...

1970s Mid-Century Minimalist Black White Abstract Oil by Edward Chavez
Located in Denver, CO
This striking black and white abstract oil painting was created circa 1975 by celebrated American modernist Edward (Eduardo) Arcenio Chavez (1917–1995). Boldly rendered in shades of black, gray, and white, the composition exemplifies Chavez’s refined minimalist aesthetic, rooted in mid-century modern art. The painting’s image size is 24 x 48 inches, with custom framing bringing the overall dimensions to 25 ½ x 49 ½ inches. A Powerful Example of American Minimalist Art Executed in a confident, monochromatic palette, this work captures the balance, restraint, and visual rhythm that define Chavez’s approach to abstraction. Its elongated horizontal format and subtle tonal variation create a meditative yet dynamic presence—perfect for collectors of minimalist, modernist, or mid-century art. About the Artist: Edward (Eduardo) Chavez Born in Wagonmound, New Mexico, Chavez was a multifaceted American artist known for his work as a painter, sculptor, lithographer, illustrator, and muralist. He studied at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center under notable figures such as Boardman Robinson, Frank Mechau, Arnold Blanch, and Peppino Mangravite. After serving in WWII, Chavez became part of the influential Woodstock, New York art colony—joining contemporaries like Bruce Currie and Mitchell Siporin...

A serene moorland scene with rich hues, misty hills, and a reflective waterway
Located in Preston, GB
A serene moorland scene with rich hues, misty hills, and a reflective waterway by 20th Century British Artist. Impasto, abstract landscape. Art measures 32 x 12 inches Frame measures 39 x 19 inches This landscape painting depicts a serene, atmospheric scene of a moorland with a reflective body of water winding through vibrant fields. The composition features a soft, diffused light illuminating the middle ground, where golden and green hues contrast with the rich purples and deep earthy tones of the surrounding vegetation. The distant mountains are enveloped in misty blues and grays, adding depth and a sense of vastness to the piece. The artist’s expressive, textured brushstrokes create movement, enhancing the raw beauty of the natural setting. Framed in a neutral, elegant frame, the painting exudes tranquility and captures the essence of the rugged landscape. Born in Birmingham in 1948, Rex Preston...
