A beautiful example of Novoa’s compositional genius from the artist’s famous animal period circa 1980. An original lithograph, 22x30 in., signed in pencil and marked, Specimen aside from the edition of 275 examples. Domestic shipping-$20, International depending upon location. Gustavo Novoa is the son of a family of lawyers in Santiago, Chile. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts, as well as, a year of law school, only to learn that structured careers were not for him. Novoa made his debut as an artist in the early 1960’s selling watercolors and works in crayon on the streets of Paris, principally Monmartre. His first one-man show was sponsored by the Chilean Ambassador at the Maison de L’Amerique Latin in 1961. The late Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain sponsored his second show in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1962. Showing in galleries in the Faubourg St. Honore and the Salon de la Jeune Peinture. Novoa completed his Parisian background, but by 1965, he had become an adoptive “New Yorker”. His one-man shows in New York, Paris, Palm Beach and Beverly Hills established him as a champion of ecology and wildlife preservation. His animals were primitive and painted in lush and colorful backgrounds. In 1977, the publication of his book Jungle Fables, for which he wrote the text and executed the paintings, was a collection of rhymes on “vice and virtue” that gave a new dimension to his animals, making them more anthropomorphic and philosophical.
