Mark Coomer Serigraph Prints of Street Scenes

Item Details

In Plate, By Hand

An assortment of serigraphs on board of street scenes by listed artist Mark Coomer (1914-2004). This group of ten prints includes scenes of daily life in Colonial Williamsburg, such as a wig maker at work, figures strolling through town, a man at a wheel and other scenes of figures walking down a street. Notable locations include the gardens of Wythe House and the Raleigh Tavern Well. All prints are signed and titled in print to a lower corner and are presented without frames or hanging hardware.

Born in Bay City, Michigan, Mark Coomer studied art in Chicago and Detroit before eventually settling in Arizona. He is known for his paintings and serigraphs, often depicting street patioscapes and urban city scenes. Coomer did almost all of his own printing, limiting his editions to 100. His preferred ground for his prints was masonite board, which combined with the permanent nature of his oil-based inks, were advertised as “washable”. Coomer exhibited his paintings and limited edition serigraphs nationally, and many can be found in private collections and institutions including the Chicago Art Institute; Challis Galleries, Laguna Beach, California; and The West and Walter-Bimson Western Art Collection housed at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.
