James Talmadge Signed Ltd Ed Serigraph SATURDAY NIGHT

Signed and numbered limited edition serigraph by James Talmadge. Titled: Saturday Night Image size:40 " x 32" New and never framed Artist Bio: From the time James Talmadge was old enough to hold a crayon, he knew he wanted to be an artist. At the age of 14, he was given his first one man exhibition. Shortly thereafter, he was awarded a scholarship to the Los Angeles based Art Center School of Design -- an award presented to one student per year.After his formal education came to an end, Talmadge's interests were pulled in many challenging directions. Projects included developing educational programs used by school systems across the United States to help disadvantaged and learning disabled students.While in his 20's, companies such as Sony, Atlantic Records, Doubleday Publishing, Max Factor, JBL International, ABC, CBS and KCET employed the artist's talents in various creative endeavors. His diversity and interests led him to explore many disciplines, from producing animated films for Sesame Street, Cheech and Chong and Sonny Bono to creating graphics for The Bill Cosby Show. During this period, Talmadge continued to hone his skills, painting every spare minute. The art finally demanded his full-time attention, and in his mid-30's, began concentrating exclusively on his art.James Talmadge has had over 100 exhibitions since 1961 throughout the United States and the Far East. His works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; The Museum of Modern Art, Osaka; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Jamaica. His artwork can be found in the collections of Charlie Sheen, Andre Agassi & Brook Shields, Mr. & Mrs. Martin Sheen, Louie Anderson, Elgen Baylor, Sony Corporation, Doubleday Publishing, Hormel Corporation, Los Angeles Times, Max Factor , Ampex Corporation, Atlantic Records, among others.When James Talmadge first picks up a stick of oil pastel or dips a brush in color, he says he literally doesn't know what he is going to paint until the brush touches the canvas. So many images enchant him -- the romance of a night at the theater, umbrellas in the rain, the glow of lights on a rain splattered street. Retail price in fine art galleries $1,200. CODE: MR
