Friends - Benjamin Chee Chee Art Print

This item is a framed print titled 'Friends' by the renowned Ojibwa artist Benjamin Chee Chee (1944–1977). The artwork features Chee Chee's signature minimalist style, characterized by fluid, economical black lines on a white background, depicting stylized geese or creatures in a rhythmic, interlocking composition. The print appears to be oriented upside down in the current frame, as the artist's name 'BENJAMIN CHEE CHEE' and the title 'FRIENDS' are visible at the top but positioned in reverse. The piece is housed in a professional multi-layered framing system: it is mounted on a textured gold-toned mat, followed by a wide beige linen liner, and finished with a dark stained wood frame showcasing a natural grain. The paper has a slight texture and appears well-preserved, though the inversion suggests it may have been re-housed or adjusted incorrectly. Chee Chee's work from the 1970s is highly sought after for its elegant simplicity and movement. The condition of the frame shows some minor surface wear, but the print itself lacks visible foxing, staining, or fading. This particular series of 'Friends' is among his most iconic and representative of the Woodland School transition toward modernism.
