Description: This vintage watercolor painting by Lydia Cooley features the iconic Roxy Theatre, starring the famous singing cowboy, Gene Autry, in his 1939 film, South of the Border. This small-sized painting measures 11x14 inches (28x36 cm) and is unframed (with some minor paper tape remaining on edges–see photo–presumably to hold it up on an easel). The painting showcases the impressionistic style of Cooley and captures the domestic and family life theme for which she was noted. It is an original and signed piece by the artist herself. Although it does not come with a COA, the authenticity of the painting is guaranteed. Own a piece of mid-century history with this one-of-a-kind painting.

Although she was quite reserved about her talent as an artist, Cooley was an established member of the Ash Can school of painters. Her portraits of children, women, and the working class convey the simple pleasures of life and the excitement of new experiences waiting to be discovered. Her work has been exhibited at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art and at the Santa Barbara Musuem of Art. Along with her husband, Don Freeman, Cooley authored several children's books including Pet of the Met and Chuggy and the Blue Caboose. Although the Freemans moved to Santa Barbara in 1958, Cooley continued to stay in contact with the New York art scene through frequent correspondences with such notable artists as Esther Geotz and Al Hirschfeld. She died in Santa Barbara in 1996.
