As a master of expressive line in both Hawaiian and Asian figurative prints, John Melville Kelly (1878–1962) captures the style of the Art Deco period in Hawaiian Cowboy, an original aquatint, circa 1940-50, measuring 16” x 13”. A closer view of Kelly’s aquatint reveals the precision of his lines and subtlety of his colors that are inspired by Asian brush painting and woodblock prints. The refinement of the portrait and Kelly’s mastery of technique and composition are remarkable.
