Jean Richardson “Red Mesa” 1988 Signed Limited Edition Etching 38/150

Vibrant limited edition color etching Red Mesa by American artist Jean Richardson (b. 1940), signed and dated lower right in pencil, “Richardson ’88,” and numbered 38/150 lower left. The abstract composition features flowing layers of crimson, ivory, and cool blue tones that evoke the forms of desert mesas rising through mist. Characteristic of Richardson’s dynamic late-20th-century abstractions, this piece captures a sense of motion and atmosphere through gestural color blending and subtle textural depth.

Presented in a wood frame with linen mat under glass, this work exemplifies the artist’s sensitivity to the American landscape as interpreted through a modern, expressive lens—an elegant addition to any fine art or Southwestern modern collection.
