A 1974 watercolor print by American artist Alexander Ross( 1908-1990), D. A. C. N. Y. depicts an assortment of flowers in multi hues of white, pink, purple, blue and gray. Signed on the bottom right. Alexander Sharpe Ross was a leading American illustrator in the 1950s and '60s, with his work on the cover of Good Housekeeping, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal and Colliers. In the 1960s, Ross moved dramatically into the fine arts-painting abstracts, surrealists, portraits-always seeking new technique. "Inventive Realism" he called it when pressed for nomenclature, and explained, "My subjects are mainly flowers and dreamlike human figures. Flowers have beautiful shapes that lend themselves to abstraction, and I incorporate new dimensions in them, using the essence of 'flower' from memory to create a whole gamut of emotions." Frame measurements are: 34-5/8"W x 1-1/2"D x 28"T. Picture measurements are: 29"W x 23"T.
