An exceptional, flawlessly preserved true sequential pair of original mid-century modern oil paintings on canvas. Signed and clearly dated 1964 by the artist Louise Goodwin, this diptych is an exemplary showcase of the mid-century Southern California "Desert School" aesthetic.
Designed to be hung together, the canvases feature a beautifully balanced, mirrored composition. The left painting features prominent, heavily textured desert flora (Yucca / Pampas grass) and jagged mountain peaks catching the light. The right painting masterfully balances the set with a stylized desert tree cluster expanding into a wide mountain valley.
The color palette is the epitome of desert modernism, utilizing soft, atmospheric dusty pinks, lavenders, warm sand ochres, and muted sage greens to capture the desert "magic hour" at twilight.
Housed in their original 1960s wood molding frames with an authentic, gentle vintage patina. The vertical 12" x 24" aspect ratio makes this set an ideal design element for flanking architectural features, fireplaces, or grounding a space over a walnut credenza or mid-century sofa.
Condition Report:
Excellent vintage condition. The oil paint layers are entirely stable, vibrant, and intact with fantastic textured impasto brushwork. Canvases retain tight, original tension on their wooden stretchers. Stretcher bars are immaculate, showing uniform, age-appropriate wood oxidation with absolutely no warping, dampness, or structural defects. Backs of the canvases are completely clean and unblemished. Ready to hang.
