For those not familiar with the artist, his biography is listed below. I have actually owned one other of Brusca's flower prints in the past. I dont know exactly how many he did in this series but they are all really great pieces. Bright vibrant serigraphs in a very modernist style. I am not sure what kind of flower this is but it is really beautiful. Image measures about 24 x 24 inches. Signed and dated lower right and numbered artist proof lower left, both in pencil. Print is in outstanding as printed condition. Margins show some very consistent toning but nothing too bad. Double matte looks like it is not archival and has probably left a matte burn box underneath. Metal frame with green accent is complimentary. Back is missing the wire where one of the eye hooks came loose. Really a beautiful print. Frame measures 31 3/4 x 31 inches. If you collect Brusca's work, check my store for the other rare print I am offering by the artist. Much more of his pop art style. Happy to combine shipping.

For those not familiar with the artist his biography reads: "Born in New York in 1939, Brusca studied at the University of New Hampshire and The School of Visual Arts, New York. His first one-man show was held at Galeria Bonino in New York in 1969. Since then his works have been displayed throughout the United States and South America. He has participated in numerous exhibitions including Expo '67, Montreal; Paintings and Sculptures Today, Indianapolis Museum of Art and Highlights of the Season at the Larry Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, Conn. Mr. Brusca won critical praise when he had his first one-man show, in 1969 at the Bonino Galleria on West 57th Street, for painting that came out of Leger and the mechanistic tradition but was not enslaved to those origins. At a 1973 show in that gallery, he was lauded by one critic as being "just about as sharp as they come" in the illusionistic representation of sleek three-dimensional forms through a mixture of surrealism, pop and hard-edged neo-realism. His last one-man show, in 1989, was at the Paraty Gallery in SoHo. His paintings were also shown at several museums and acquired by the Whitney Museum and others. Mr. Brusca also designed sets and costumes for ballet. His costumes for Louis Falco's ballet "Escarpot," performed by Alvin Ailey Dance Theater at City Center in 1991, won critical praise. He also designed jewelry. Jack Brusca died of AIDS in 1993." See less
