Vintage BEN BLACK 'Cat and her Kittens' Mixed Media Painting

Description: ORIGINAL 1997 BEN BLACK (1922-2003) 'CAT AND HER KITTENS' MIXED MEDIA PAINTING I recently acquired the life work of the Boston artist Ben Black (1922-2003). Known for his clown drawings and paintings, many of which were used by Royal Doulton, he also did quite a few illustrations for calendars and other printed material. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. I have decided to list works across the spectrum of the kind of work Black did to show his various styles. This is a wonderful realism view of a cat mom and her kittens. A mixed media of pen & ink, watercolor, and magic marker, this is an incredible detailed view. Just a stunning attention to detail throughout the entire painting. Image measures 10 x 24 inches in perfect as created condition. Signed and dated lower right in pen below the image. Work is on Bainbridge illustration board measuring 16 x 30 inches. If you collect Ben Black or are interested in his other works, check my store for the others I am offering.

For those not familiar with the artist, I have created a small biography based on the gallery exhibition pamphlets and newspaper articles I acquired with the collection.
