G. Harvey (American, 1933-2017) The New Filly, 1975 Oil on canvas 24 x 30 inches (61.0 x 76.2 cm) Signed and dated lower right: G. Harvey / 1975 Titled and inscribed on the stretcher: #4411 The New Filly Signed, dated, titled, and inscribed on the reverse: #4411 / The New Filly / G. Harvey / 1975 PROVENANCE: Private collection, Aledo, Texas. Born and raised in his beloved Texas, Harvey never strayed far from that which inspired him -- his oil on canvas paintings and bronzes both reflect that state's romantic landscapes and peoples. Many of Harvey's paintings evoke the American masters. That's not to say that Harvey didn't experience success outside of the American Southwest -- he did. His work has been exhibited in some of the most famed galleries in the world including The Smithsonian and The Grand National Exhibition in 1965 (where he won the New Master's Award). Harvey died in 2017, leaving a legacy of achingly beautiful landscape paintings, evocative bronzes, and above all else, lasting love for the American West. It's obvious when viewing a Harvey that it is the work of a true American original. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
