Thomas McKnight 'Chalk & Vermilion' Exhibition Exhibition Poster
This is a large-format art poster by American artist Thomas McKnight, produced for the publisher Chalk & Vermilion in New York. The artwork features McKnight's signature 'Interior' style, characterized by a romantic, idealized view from a sophisticated room overlooking a moonlit seascape. The composition includes a grand piano, a sailboat on the water, and lush indoor plants, rendered in a palette of pastel pinks, deep blues, and vibrant reds. The physical item is housed in a white-washed or light-grey ribbed wooden frame under glass or acrylic. The typography at the bottom clearly states the artist's name and the publisher's details. In terms of condition, there is significant glare on the protective glazing, but the print itself appears to be in good color-stable condition without obvious fading or water damage. The frame exhibits minor wear consistent with late 20th-century origins, likely from the 1980s or 1990s when McKnight’s work reached its peak popularity. The craftmanship is typical of high-quality lithographic commercial printing of the era, intended for interior decor markets.
