Original artwork description:
This is an original oil painting on canvas by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) from 2002. The painting itself is 23” high by 28” wide. It is framed in a gold gilt ornate wood frame with an ivory linen liner to a framed size of 31” high by 37” wide.
The subject is a portrait of a white horse, shown shoulder high peering out of a stable window with a wooden shutter which is open. The horse’s head is in the sunshine while his body remains in the dark shadows of his stall. Curiously, one may also notice on close inspection a young girl standing next to the horse, but she is barely visible, surreally painted solely in shades of black.
The work is aptly titled “Brittany and Friend.” The scene is actually of a rustic farm in Auvillar, France during one of the artist’s artist-in-residence grants. The painting is in excellent condition and signed front lower left by the artist. The framing is the original gold gilt wood frame with ivory linen liner assembled by the artist which is also in excellent condition. The work is ready to hang.
De La Cruz has been a full-time professional fine artist since 1975. He was the subject of a museum-wide retrospective at Denver's Museo de las Americas in 2015-2016. He is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators and proved the bestselling artist at the first International Latino Art Auction in Phoenix, AZ. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a major, contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building. De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist-in-residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship. Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver’s Commission on Arts and Culture.
