Geno Pettit
Geno Pettit, Seated Figure

1945

About the Item

Seated Figure by Geno (sometimes Genoi) Pettit, made in 1945, is a wonderfully 'moderne' image. The woman is wearing a roman-inspired blouse or dress and is shown against a yellow/green, chartreuse background. There is the feeling she is about to lead an ancient procession at any moment! Pettit and her husband, Guy McCoy, were early adapters and innovators of the medium of serigraphy. They worked in NY and later in Los Angeles. This print is signed, titled, and dated, in pencil.

    For a print that's nearly one hundred years old it feels very contemporary. Signed and titled in pencil. Besides the etching I think there is some false biting that adds tone here.
