P10 Artwork Courier 350

Original lithograph from the ‘School Prints’ Series printed by the Baynard Press in the 1940s. By Buk Ulreich   Conservation mounted and framed with UV protective glass to prevent fading Image size: 75cm x 48cm Outside frame size: 93cm x 67cm   Ulreich was born in Hungary, but his family emigrated the same year to America. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Pennsylvania Fine Arts Academy. A noted muralist, he produced work for the Chicago World Fair and for the Radio City Music Hall. He also worked as an illustrator and an interior designer for major public buildings. As an artist he seems to have drawn his subjects from the Wild West and in 1941 he illustrated a children's book on Navaho Indians. Arizona Cowboys seems typical of his work both in subject matter and in being in the decorative style of a muralist and interior designer.
