Im not sure whether the paint is acrylic or oil. I was told it is oil-on-board. The frame is solid wood. The other 3 auctions are running concurrent with this one, with staggered ending times. Please see my other listings. If youre reading this, you are probably familiar with the artist and his work. If youre not, a web search will provide you with a great deal of information. Here is a link to the Smithsonian Institutes bio.. Please see the photos for condition. Ive included good photos of the front, back, 4 edges of the frame, plus 4 detail shots of the work. Ive also included close-ups of the signature and title (if applicable). There may be some wear and imperfections on the paintings or the frames. I think they are in very good shape, but I make NO assertions that these paintings or frames are perfect. My father grew up in Coaldale, PA, the town directly adjacent to Savitskys Lansford – The two towns share a town line and a main street. My parents, both decended from coal miners, were well-connected with the area and took a liking to Savitskys work and his affectionate portrayals of the locale and its people. The paintings were given to me by mother. I do not recall where my parents acquired them, but they did so in the late 80s to early 90s. Dimensions inside frame: 23.5 x 15.5. Dimensions overall: 25 x 17 x 1.5. The painting is recessed about 1 into the frame.
