LEONARD HOWARD REEDY "PURSUED BY MEXICAN BANDITS" W/C VINTAGE TUCSON ESTATE

Description

(NOTE: Please pardon the reflection from the frame glass seen in some of the photos) From a Catalina Foothills estate in Tucson is "Pursued By Mexican Bandits", an original I believe 1940's or so watercolor by Leonard Howard Reedy. Here a desperate rider, alone and with Colt in hand, looks back at his future or his past. The highly evocative desert chase is signed "LEONARD H. REEDY" at lower right as proper.  Leonard Howard Reedy  (1899-1956)) was born in Chicago and studied at the Chicago Institute and Academy of Fine Arts. Enamored of the American West since childhood, Reedy chose to live what he loved - he worked as a ranch hand,  lived among Native American peoples, and spent numerous years soaking up the land of it all. A great admirer of Frederic Remington, he aspired to an accurate presentation and truth of life on the frontier - what might actually have been seen if you were there on that day. With works such as this one, he obviously succeeded.   Condition is apparently quite fine, the artwork protectively housed in its now vintage framing.  It further resides in a triple matting, the outer with hand drawn bordering in the French manner. The frame itself is in fairly good shape, showing just a few minor marks from previous wall duty in that upscale home - it can soldier on, or be replaced to your taste. A look at those pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition. Visible image size within the mat is about 10 5/8 in. horizontal and 7 7/8 in. vertical. Frame size is about 20 1/2 in. horizontal and 17 5/8 in. vertical. If you are keen on the American west and already know what this is, or simply wish a single improvement to the ambiance of a wall in your home, this will have great meaning for you. NOTE: I am doing this as a final sale auction like the old days, so feel free to ask any questions and bid accordingly.
