Item Description
This is a great example of one of Kimble's favorite subjects, the rooster. The image is painted on a piece of reclaimed wood, which Kimble selected to best fit his vision for the painting. Kimble and his wife had many commercial licenses to reproduce his images on various homewares and posters. This original painting was used to reproduce posters, which can be found online by searching his name and the title.
As “America’s Best Known Living Folk Artist,” Warren Kimble draws on more than 50 years of experience as a fine artist, educator, and antiques collector to create a casual but sophisticated style of American Folk Art. His classic folk art features the animals, rural landscapes and buildings of Vermont. Warren Kimble’s paintings are universally appealing. They evoke a simpler and less complicated era. As Warren himself says, his style is “reminiscent of something that surrounds a person every day. It is simplistic, yet abstract.” Among his most popular images are barns, houses, animals and Americana themes that reflect his love for landscapes in Vermont and rural America. Warren often paints on carefully selected wood for his canvas, using 18th-century tabletops or cabinet doors that have textural qualities due to their use by past generations. His warm and unique color palette adds to the overall feeling of serenity in his paintings, which are widely sought after both in the U.S. and internationally.
In response to his art work, more than 50 licensing partners joined with Warren from 1995 to present to create a series of quality products in range of categories, including artistic prints, calendars, furniture, home accents, wallpaper, dishware, and publishing. He has been ranked in License! magazine’s top 100 leading licensors.
The painting and reclaimed wood are in good vintage condition.
