There he stands… handsome and proud, wearing a fantastic long dress coat in gorgeous tones of brown and black and muted tones of turquoise and yellow. His eyes are magnetized to the back of the room where the most beautiful woman he has ever seen sits at the bar in a long flowing red dress… the hem brushes her delicate foot in her Louis Vuitton heels. He stares in awe. She is magnificent! He must meet her. He grips his fabulous coat seam in confidence, flips his thick black hair out of his eyes and proceeds slowly toward her. Surely, she will find him as phenomenal as he finds her… I mean, how could she not? Just look at this coat!! This is the EPITOME of 1950s art! Including the frame. It is a beautiful, limited edition abstract image or silkscreen Serigraph of Joseph in is coat of many colors; however, in this print his coat is in subdued colors. It is going to be wonderful on any wall in your home whether above a console table in your entry way, in the dining room or study, or on a main wall in the living room.
