This rare vintage early 1950's Art Deco style Paint by Number " Pink Flamingos " custom framed painting is an incredibly special and unique piece to add to your collection.
The Mid Century Modern original vintage painting is created in the early 1950's by an unknown artist. The painting on canvas board was made using an authentic vintage Paint by Number lit. It features a beautiful Art Deco style image of two pink flamingos poised in a lush lagoon setting in a gorgeous multicolor vintage palette.
Paint by Number kits are self-contained painting sets, designed to facilitate painting a pre-designed image. The sets included brushes, tubs of paint with numbered labels, and a canvas board printed with borders and numbers. The painter selects the color corresponding to one of the numbers then uses it to fill in a delineated section of the canvas board, in a manner similar to a coloring book.
The kits technique first patent was filed in 1923, and were invented, developed and marketed beginning in 1950 by Max S. Klein, an engineer and owner of The Palmer Paint Company in Detroit, Michigan. The overwhelming response induced other companies to produce their own versions of Paint by Number. The Palmer Paint Company Paint by Number archive now resides in the collection of The Smithsonian Museum of American History. Several early designs for Paint by Numbers by Max Klein are included in The Department of Architecture and Design collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Paint by Number artworks are an emblematic keepsake of The Mid Century Modern Art Movement and American cultural oeuvre of new creative design and decoration.
The rare vintage Paint by Number framed painting measures 17 1/4" W X 21 1/4" H X 7/8" D. It is custom framed in a Contemporary Modern avocado olive green matte eggshell finish wood frame molding, with an attached hanging wire on the reverse back side for easy wall installation.
It is in excellent condition. The painting on canvas board is in excellent clean vintage condition consistent with age, light signs of handling, and very light minor wear. It is brand newly custom framed and has never been displayed. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for an excellent price. less
