Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 34 W x 28 H x 1 D in
Ships in a Crate
This is an original oil painting on linen canvas mounted on wood panel by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) from 2002. The painting itself is 22” high by 28” wide. It is framed in a rustic grayish wood frame with a gold gilt liner to a framed size of 28” high by 34” wide. The subject is the famous French monastery island Mont Saint Michel at sunset. The sea is dark and the monastery rises from the rocky island in dark silhouette. Most of the picture plane features the sky at sunset with oranges emanating from the unseen sun juxtaposed against a sky and clouds of vivid aquas and blues. The work is aptly titled “Mont Saint Michel” and is very true to this famous place which the artist has repeatedly visited, quite entranced with its uniqueness. The painting is in excellent condition and signed front lower left by the artist.

Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at delacruzarts.com. "De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative." Joaquin Alvarado Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators (2001). His was the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved the best selling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works of De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (Denver Art Museum, El Museo and the Mizel). Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver and his new studio in the Little River District of Miami.
