Original artwork description:
This is an original oil painting on canvasboard by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is a horizontal format, 8” high by 10” wide. The framed size of the work is 12” high by 14” wide.
The subject is a small desert landscape at sunset. The sky takes up the top two-thirds of the canvas, darker blues at the top, becoming lighter as the eye drops toward the horizon. At the horizon, the sun has just dropped below the distant hills, leaving a yellow band of light at the edge of the sky.
The bottom third is a dark brown desert with some taller ridges in the distance. In the front lower left a sole, tall, saguaro cactus grows in black silhouette in front of the sunset, casting a shadow toward the front lower left. |
This work is from the artist’s “Unusual Atmospheric Conditions.” The palette is primarily blues with some yellows with browns. The work is aptly titled “Cactus Night.” It is in pristine condition and signed front lower right by the artist. The work is framed with a gold gilt wood frame, as shown, and 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.
