Mcm Art Print Sunset Appraisal

MCM Art Print Sunset

This item is identified as a framed art print, specifically labeled as a 'MCM Art Print Sunset,' indicating a Mid-Century Modern style. The print depicts an abstract or semi-abstract scene, possibly a cityscape or harbor at sunset, characterized by vertical brushstrokes or textural elements in warm hues of orange, red, and yellow, blending into darker tones of brown and black at the bottom. The color palette strongly suggests a sunset or twilight atmosphere. The physical characteristics include a rectangular shape, housed within a two-tiered wooden frame. The larger, outer frame is made of dark-stained wood, possibly walnut or a similar dark timber, with a smooth finish. Inside this, there is a thinner, golden-colored inner frame or liner, which provides a visual separation and accentuates the central artwork. The print itself appears to have a textured surface, which could be a characteristic of the printing process simulating brushstrokes, or it might be a print of an original painting with significant impasto. Visible condition issues are difficult to determine precisely from the image, but the frame shows some signs of wear consistent with age, particularly on the outer edges and corners. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible on the print itself or the frame from this angle. The overall aesthetic strong aligns with the Mid-Century Modern period (roughly 1945-1965), which often featured abstract forms, warm color schemes, and reliance on natural materials like wood. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for framed art of this period, with sturdy construction of the frame.
