PAIR of Seaside Themed Still Life Prints by Artist Frank Massa
These are a lovely pair of still lifes of items that one might find on a beach: seashells (most in glass containers), driftwood, coral, etc. all in soft earth tone colors. I Googled the artist, Frank Massa, and found other examples of his artwork but nothing about him.
I probably bought these prints, still in their original frames, some time during the 70s or 80s, probably from The Collector's Guild. They are single matted (brown) with an opening that measures 8.5” by 10.5”. They are covered with Plexiglass which is still very clear. The frame molding is wood, maybe walnut, almost an inch wide and 3/4" deep. There are some scratches on the frames, but given their age, they are still in reasonably good vintage condition. Their overall size is 14” by 16”. An attached saw tooth allows for hanging. The cardboard backing is sealed with tape. A Certificate of Authentication affixed to it reads as follows: A.P.F. Inc. certifies and warrants that this is a Fine Reproduction Print, pencil signed by the artist, and produced by Offset Lithography on fine art paper. I think that A.P.F. might have been the company that did the framing.
