Framed intaglio print. 25" x 30.5". Anybody know who does the set dressing for Mad Men? If so, call them right away ... because this is exactly the kind of thing Don Draper would have had hanging in his office. (Mom, incidentally, actually studied commercial art and wanted to get a job in an ad agency, but nobody would even consider giving employment to a Catholic girl about to get married in those days. Just as well. Joanlee had a puritannical streak that wouldn't have mixed well with that industry.) This striking print is probably the best of all her abstract work, and she showed it heavily in art competitions in the '60s. There's a list of prizes won for it between 1962 and 1971 on the back.
