Mid Century Modern "R. Styles" Production Painting



Mid Century Modern 1970's Production Painting Signed "R. Styles"  Sold





Vintage 70's Mid Century Modern Abstract "Cityscape" Painting. Framed measurements : 37" x 37". Oil on canvas. Black painted wood frame with brass accents. Signed lower right: "R. Styles".



Most likely a "production" painting - either a design executed by one or a team of people from an artist's original employed by the facility. In a brief bit of research, I've traced the name R. Styles to Avante Studios, Inc., a production facility in San Gabriel, CA.





The oil paint in the background is beautifully blended horizontally in shades of gold, green, brown with streaks of white for a night time sunset. These are punctuated by vertical dabs of bright orange, gold, white & black - these dabs have some great texture.





A great addition to any Mid Century Modern home or art collection. Very Good Vintage Condition.  Please email for a complete condition report.
