It comes directly out of his estate. It is signed in the bottom right with artist proof “A. P” to the bottom left. If the pics ruins, horses in a modernistic type landscape. I’m not sure if we ever put this one into production. The image measures 10“ x 15“, framed 19 1/2“ x 25 1/2“. The print itself is in very good condition and has been newly framed and matted.

J. Jay McVicker (born Jesse Jay McVicker; October 18, 1911 – August 31, 2004) was an American artist. He is known for his printmaking, particularly his early aquatints and his experimental use of intaglio techniques. McVicker was also active as a painter and sculptor throughout his career. A student of Ella Jack and Doel Reed at Oklahoma State University, McVicker showed early promise as a Regionalist watercolorist and printmaker. After graduating with a BA in 1940 and an MA in 1941, both from Oklahoma State University, he joined the faculty and remained in Stillwater, Oklahoma for the rest of his life. After World War II, McVicker turned to abstraction, and exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad. less
