Dimensions: 20.5 x 30 inches (52 x 76.2 cm)
This is a lithograph print of an oil painting by J.K. Dinesen, produced for the Seattle World's Fair. Otherwise known as the Century 21 Exposition, the world's fair ran from April 21 - October, 21 of 1962 where it featured the construction of the iconic Space Needle, Alweg monorail, several sports stadiums and performing arts buildings.
This beautiful seascape image is like poetry of motion, portraying the frothy foam of the sea, which is in sharp contrast to the the rough jagged coastline. The vibrant golden colors of the Sunset, reflected on the water, allow the viewer to witness the passing of another day. Many of Dinesen's works were of the Pacific Coast.
