Clayton Pond. "End Of The Trail". Clayton Pond (b. 1941) was among the first artists to employ silkscreen printing in a fresh, distinctly personal way. His limited edition silkscreen prints are immediately recognizable for their bright, cheerful colors with a shine as if the inks were still wet. But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: "End of the Trail" is one of two motorcycle images done from a Motocross event the artist attended in southern California. The title and the pose of the rider are a reference to the artist James Earle Fraser’s sculpture of the same name showing a native American Indian on his horse. Pond’s view is of the new American West in an homage to Fraser’s original image of the Old West.
"End Of The Trail", from 1979 and in 14 colors, is 30 x 40", signed and titled by Clayton Pond, Printers Proof (of 5 PP made). Part of the American Leisure-time Obsessions Series. Estimated Value $500 - 900
