CHARLES H REYNOLDS TAOS NM Signed Oil On Board Guadalupe Wedding 1954 Southwest
Item History & Price
Good Charles H. Reynolds (Charles Henry Reynolds) oil on canvas board painting entitled "Guadalupe Wedding." Shows a large crowd of Native American or Mexican peoples in the plaza watching a bride and groom exit the church. Great southwestern adobe buildings, portico, visible, as are mountains and a gorgeous cloudy blue sky. Colors are vibrant.
The protective cardboard on the back has written on it "Guadalupe Wedding - Chas H Reynolds - at Guadalu...pe Church on Guadalupe Plaza - Taos NM 4/24/53." I took the cardboard away to determine if there was anything else we could glean from the back of the board itself. There is pencil writing which is somewhat hard to make out. All I can see is "Guadalupe Wedding - Chas H Reynolds" and a price - maybe $100 or $160 - just cannot tell.
As I understand Reynolds began visiting and painting in Taos in the early 1930s, and moved there in the 1940s. He lived to the 1960s.
As stated, the painting itself is in good shape. The frame in which I purchased it leaves a bit to be desired. It is 20 x 24" in size. I think it was a pretty good-quality gesso on wood mid-century era frame, but as you can see from the photos it has some chipping.
Great southwestern - and specifically Taos, New Mexico - art from a talented, well-listed and well-sold regional artist. Interesting historical, architectural, and cultural topic.
Will gladly work with you on shipping. I have put in some rough dimensions (28 x 32 x 7 and 10 lbs) and will pay the UPS store to pack this properly (I have estimated $15, which is likely high). After sale, please wait until I send you an invoice with the exact cost, which will be exact shipping and the exact modest fee for packing, and insurance. Will also work with you if you would like it shipped via another service (UPS, FedEx, or...).
