Mid-Century Modern acrylic on canvas painting signed Letterman featuring three pelicans. Among known Letterman themes, pelicans are uncommon but not unique. They fit the broader 1970s coastal décor trend, especially in Florida and California. Manufactured in the 1970s and sold in JCPenney stores in the U.S., Letterman paintings are a collection of works created to look like original oil paintings. Although there is no single Letterman artist, the paintings themselves are collectible by fans who love them simply for their aesthetic and simplicity and for their place in mid-century Americana. Featuring subjects ranging from cats to landscapes to geometric patterns and signed simply Letterman, these paintings were designed to have a broader appeal to all walks of life and their home decor styles.
