Lyman Byxbe (Colorado, 1886-1980) - LYMAN BYXBE (1886-1980) ROCKY MOUNTAIN OIL ON CANVAS. Lyman Byxbe (Colorado, 1886-1980) Untitled (Aspen in the Rockies) Mid 20th Century The scarce and finely rendered oil on canvas is signed lower left. Lyman Byxbe is primarily known as a printmaker, a very prolific printmaker attributed with creating nearly 400 images. The few oils he created seem to have come mostly in the 1950s. While there is no title or other information to work from, there is circumstantial evidence to suggest that the grove of autumn aspens in the foreground of this composition is framing the Flatirons near Boulder, Colorado, possibly the broad summit below Longs Peak rising in the background, a favorite subject of the artist. His prints many times pictured views and landmarks such as Long's Peak, Bear Lake, and other views and landmarks of the surrounding Front Range. Whatever the location, this is the finest example of Byxbe's work to ever be offered at auction. Canvas measures 26 x 36 with a framed size of 32 x 42 inches.
