Lady Rodney by Barbara A. Wood | Hand-signed & numbered editioned print on paper

Description: Barbara A. Wood American | 1926-2023 Lady Rodney Serigraph print on paper, edition 812 of 975 Hand-signed “Barbara A. Wood” Rendered in rich blues and reds, Barbara A. Wood’s Lady Rodney is a compelling and vibrant rendering of the artist’s favorite subject: women at rest. The eponymous Lady is rendered with an air of sophistication and confidence. Casually leaning her elbow onto a tablecloth and gazing away from the viewer, the sitter’s bright coiffed hair and blushed face is framed by her deep blue hat and long multi-hued dress. Wood's expressive brushwork imbues the work with a certain vitality, highlighting the subtle play of light and shadow on the figure’s form. Wood is renowned for her lively depictions of women, often set in scenes that reflect daily life, social interactions, and intimate moments. Her paintings are characterized by a blend of realism and abstraction, with a focus on capturing the emotional and psychological depth of her subjects. Wood’s vibrant palette, embodied fully in Lady Rodney, has become a hallmark of her style. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Barbara A. Wood’s early exposure to art came from her mother, who was an amateur artist and encouraged Wood’s interest in drawing and painting. Wood pursued formal art education at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where she honed her skills and developed a solid foundation in classical techniques. She later attended the University of Cincinnati and the Central Academy of Commercial Art, expanding her artistic repertoire and immersing herself in the study of both fine arts and commercial art practices. Barbara A. Wood's career took off in the mid-20th century when she began exhibiting her work in galleries across the United States, including the R.H. Love Galleries in Chicago and the LaMantia Gallery in New York. Her paintings were well-received for their unique blend of technical skill and emotional resonance. Over the years, Wood has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, showcasing her work in prestigious venues and earning a reputation as a significant figure in American art. Her artworks are held in prestigious private collections worldwide, including His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia’s Private Office, President George H. W. Bush, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue, Elizabeth Taylor, Hugh Hefner, Jane Seymour, Jerry Lewis, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke, Dennis Weaver, Art Linkletter, Ron Howard, and Gavin MacLeod.
