Description

DAVID PRYOR ADICKES (American, b. 1927)
Golden Trees
Oil on canvas
17 x 23 inches (43.2 x 58.4 cm)
Signed lower right: Adickes

Born in Huntsville, David Adickes, in spite of a degree in math and physics, pursued art, studying at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Atelier Fernand Leger in Paris. He returned to Texas and found success with his first solo show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in December 1951. Adickes spent most of his professional life teaching, painting, and creating small bronzes. As you can see from these works, Adickes has a distinctive and vibrant style featuring bold color and texture blended with a serene tone. These mostly abstract paintings and mixed media pieces are charming examples of that style.
