  • Arthur Irwin Riley (1911 - 1998) American
    Apr. 30, 2024

    Arthur Irwin Riley (1911 - 1998) American

    Est: $800 - $1,500

    Arthur Irwin Riley (1911 - 1998) Watercolor and gouache on paper, signed lower left, measures 14 x 16 inches and 20.5 x 24 inches w/frame. “Riley Paints the West… Art Riley has trudged the backroads away from the beaten trail with easel, board and knapsack to paint the beauty of Tahquitz Falls near Palm Springs. He has withstood the desert heat and swirling sand to capture the romance of the old mines at Rosmond on the California desert. The 44-year Burbank resident has even made regular trips from his home to San Pedro over a two-year period to capture the intricacies of the Vincent Thomas Bridge construction project… Riley’s work frequently appears in Ford Times Magazine… His most recent project was illustrating an Erle Stanley Garner article, ‘The West is Waiting to be Discovered,’ for Ford Times’ Western Journeys, a special vacation travel edition. Riley finds a great deal of satisfaction in every phase of his work. He has been a Disney Studio designer and artist for 30 years.
