Item Details
In Plate
A pair of offset lithograph prints featuring one print titled Dolphin Flight after Schim Schimmel (1954-Present).
These prints depict Seals in an Arctic landscape with Planet Earth and Outer Space in the background, and Dolphins floating in the sky above a seascape with sunlight bathing their skin.
The pieces are signed in plate to the lower left and lower right corners. They are presented behind Brown and White and Brown and Gold-toned mat behind plexiglass in Silver and Gold-toned wooden frames. Both frames have wire hangers for wall mounting.
Schim Schimmel studied art with his father, William Schimmel, a well-known watercolorist and art instructor. Schim subsequently taught watercolor, oil, and acrylic landscape painting to thousands of students for over a decade. In 1987 he quit teaching to devote full time to his developing art style, the style he is now recognized for around the world.
In 1991 Schimmel’s artwork was shown at the Tokyo Art Expo in Japan.
His work was immediately embraced by the Japanese, and a year later he was asked by Shogakukan, one of the largest book publishers in Japan, to write a children’s book using his artwork. Since then, Schimmel has produced six more books, and has traveled to Japan over 50 times, attending hundreds of art shows in dozens of cities throughout the four main islands of the country. Schimmel continues to attend art exhibitions every year with Japan’s number one fine-art company, Art Vivant.
Schim and his wife, JoAnn, live in Arizona, U.S.
