About the Item

A nice set of two airbrush prints of flowers and pink flamingos on a black background by Billy Seay. This a great example of the post-WWII tropical art/decorating boom that took over America in the late 1940s through the 1950s. The prints are marked SEAY and for the maker Turner. Each print framed measures about 30.5 inches high and 22.5 inches wide. The print portion without the picture frame measures about 25.5 inches high and 17.5 inches wide. There is a good deal of light and reflections that are visible in the photos reflecting off of the glass. Bill Seay (1922-2012) started his working life as Billy Seay, a child actor, in the late silents and early talkies (“Kid Millions” with Eddie Cantor, “Topaze” with John Barrymore, and “The Unknown” with Lon Chaney and the young Joan Crawford, are the most noted of these films), then followed in his father’s footsteps as an artist, joining the designer Sacha Brastoff in his studio from 1952 to 1959, remaining a life-long friend and co-author of the definitive book on Brastoff’s work, soon striking out on his own as a portrait painter (clients included Judy Garland, Crawford and the ill-fated George Reeves of the Superman series on TV), finally becoming an antiquaire and decorator until his passing at the age of 90." This piece on a soft board was damaged at some point in the past. At the left center (and see corresponding area on reverse, now taped), are cracks in the board which someone attempted to fix. They did a respectable job but it is hardly professional. From a normal viewing distance, the flawed area is kind of lost in the imagery of the bird and flowing flowery background.
