Vintage Computer Original Artwork Love in the Computer Room

Creator: Herbert Tauss
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
In the late 1960', computers were different then they are today. A whole room was required to accommodate an IBM mainframe. It's here that this romantic scene takes place: in the privacy of HVAC units, tape cassettes, and blinking lights, a dashing young man and a stunning woman find a place for an intimate encounter. Herb Tauss's post-impressionist painting was a double-page spread that appeared in the October 1968 issue of the Ladies' Home Journal. The work is characterized by quick, loose brushstrokes with a moody palette of browns, grays, and ochres, punctuated by primary colors from the computer terminal's light. The overall feel is soft and muted, conveying the subject's emotional and psychological state as they seek a place to hide and make love in the office without being discovered. Signed lower left, framed in an elegant modern frame with Tru Vue Museum glass to a size of 25.75 x 19.25 -
Provenance: Fred Taraba
The work looks better in person. Best viewed with a top gallery type lighting to bring out color
