Frank Howell April’s Song (1988) Signed Print – Professionally Framed
Frank Howell (1937–1997), April’s Song, circa 1988. A signed print by the celebrated Southwestern artist, known for his lyrical and spiritual imagery of Native-inspired figures. This composition presents a flowing, ethereal female form surrounded by blossoms and cascading lines, set against a soft peach and deep green ground. The piece exemplifies Howell’s ability to merge realism with abstraction, imbuing his figures with a sense of timeless movement.
The work is signed and titled in the lower margin and dated 1988. It was professionally framed under glass with custom triple matting and a brass title plaque. Similar examples of April’s Song are documented as offset lithographs and monotypes from the 1980s, often exhibited through Contemporary Southwest Galleries. Howell’s works remain highly sought-after, with April’s Song appearing in notable sales and collections.

Good condition overall. No visible damage to the print or matting. Some dirt and dust are visible behind the glass, which could benefit from light cleaning if reframed. The frame itself is sturdy with only minor wear consistent with age.
