Here we have a rare linoleum print by renowned Native American artist John Louis Clarke. The artwork depicts a group of log cabins with mountains in the background. Clarke was Montana artist, and the scene truly reflects it. Definitely reflects a scene of peace, something we can all use from time to time. The piece is signed "J.L. Clarke" in the lower right corner. Frame this up you have a permanent scene of rustic peace on your wall.
This important artist had an amazing story. Check out the
great biography of John L. Clarke courtesy of the
Clarke Gallery in Montana.
The rare print came out of an old estate in the Twin Cities area, which included many items from the late 1800s into the mid 1900s. My guess is this artwork was produced in the 1940s or 50s. Just a guess though.
The unframed linoleum print measures 9" wide by just over 7" tall. There are a few areas with discoloration along the edges, especially along the top left edge and bottom right corner (see pics). The print is slightly curling along the edges and corners. Please see all pics as they are part of the description.
I ship to the continental USA only. Free shipping on the print.
What a story, and what an artist. A legend that continues to live. This is a great window into this Montana legend.
