1970s Benjamin Chee Chee Modernist Print - Good Morning!

Benjamin Chee Chee - born in Ontario, Canada - was an indigenous artist whose paintings transcended the more traditional native paitning style aesthethic toward one influenced by modern abstraction.  Active in the 60s and 70s, Chee Chee's technique combined indigenous themes with a style more representative of international modern art. 

Tragically killed at age 32, Chee Chee left a limited, but influential, body of work for us to enjoy.

This print - titled "Good Morning!" - is an excellent representation of his modernist technique.  He often used Canadian Geese as subjects in his paintings, incorporating their symbolism of indigeneous peoples and of Canada, and their natural motion.

The print is matted and set in a nice wood frame.  It's ready to hang and enjoy.

30 1/2"  x  24 1/2"

SOLD.  Thanks, Bob @ Cincinnati, OH!
