The French painter, Paul Gauguin, painted a "Yellow Christ" and a "Green Christ". Matt Foley painted a "Blue Christ" and a "Red Christ". His "Red Christ" was published as a signed and numbered fine art print. Here is an extraordinary opportunity to own this limited edition print by renown artist, C. Matthew Foley.
Painted while the artist resided in Tuscon, Arizona, and attributed to a vision that the artist experienced in the desert, this powerful print is to be found in many private collections. A missionary priest also took some of these signed and numbered prints to South America to grace churches there. An award-winning and deeply religious artist, Foley's work reflects this and is imbued with a heightened spirituality. He has only allowed two of his paintings to be turned into prints - this one, and that of a painting taken back to Russia by the then President, Boris Yeltsin, titled "Hail To the Chief." Foley has had work included in major exhibitions in 48 states and a number of other countries. "A great artist belongs to the world, local is the country called home." More information on the artist can be found at - www.cmattfoley.com (link provided only for purposes of providing a provenance service for an interested buyer as allowed by Craigslist's Terms of Use) The asking price is only $125.00 |
