Two Frank Serratoni framed and matted prints under glass of San Francisco cityscape scenes, both signed lower right "Frank Serratoni", 16.5" x 14.25". Bio from AskArt: Frank Serratoni (1908-1970) was born in Detroit, Michigan. He studied commercial art and ended as a watercolorist well known for his San Francisco scenes. Frank went to work in Chicago, and attended select classes at the Chicago Art Institute. In the late 1940's he moved to San Francisco where he first started a silk screen process with the San Francisco prints in the 1940's and other large prints. This process to color the areas was not successful, because the color range was limited and eventually faded. He then created his small San Francisco prints in the 1940's. They were a lithographed (plates were made for each of the 12 scenes) on a watercolor tolerant paper. The areas were painted in with watercolors and the finish looked almost like an original. He blended the colors giving the right tones for each area. They were his steady income supplement and a big tourist attraction. He sold them at Paul Elders Book Store in San Francisco, City of Paris, and he also sold large original watercolors in a frame shop in Oakland. Serratoni watercolors hang in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, CA and the exclusive men's club, Olympic. The large watercolors are still hanging in the Fairmont Hotel along with other well-known artist. Pickup only.
