Ed Mell Southwest Landscape Fine Art Poster by Davis Blue Artwork

This is a vintage fine art exhibition poster featuring a stylized Southwest canyon landscape by the renowned American artist Ed Mell. The piece is printed on a heavy-weight, matte-finish paper stock with a wide decorative margin in a pale mint green or sage hue. The central image showcases Mell’s signature 'Arizona Modernist' style, characterized by geometric, angular rock formations and a dramatic use of light and shadow. The color palette within the painting is sophisticated, utilizing deep purples, dusty rose, cool blues, and soft whites to depict the atmospheric perspective of a desert canyon. Below the image, block text in a light-colored sans-serif typeface reads 'ED MELL / DAVIS • BLUE ARTWORK PUBLISHERS OF FINE ART POSTERS AND LIMITED EDITIONS'. The construction suggests a high-quality offset lithographic process typical of art publishers in the 1980s and 1990s. The overall condition appears excellent with crisp edges and vibrant pigments, showing no immediate signs of significant foxing, creasing, or sun-fading. The bottom edge contains smaller copyright and publisher information, confirming its status as an authentic Davis Blue Artwork production. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise registration and high-fidelity reproduction of Mell’s original brushwork, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Southwest art and mid-century modern aesthetic revivals.
