Featured Vintage Gouache, Pastel and Ink Painting

This is a fun vintage painting - looks like gouache, pastel and ink. There are some condition issues. I feel like I have seen this work before. At first I thought the last name was George but I am not coming up with anything remotely similar. I can try to get photographs of the backside when I am out staging on Monday. Thank you for looking!

 

It looks like George to me too. First name Darran?

Think that's right. I970s-1980s from the look of it. Shame about condition. Should be a lithograph. Is the paper marked?

I actually looked at Adrian George on Artfact and didn't see anything similar. This must be an earlier work.
Many Thanks!!!!

 

Not a lithograph...........pastel with gouache and ink.....will take it out of the frame on Monday.....it is under glass but not preserved.

 

You may find it's a lithograph with touches of ink and gouache

 

I'm seeing Damien something....can't quite get the last....yet....oooooh....... yeah, maybe Adrian.....

 

Yep - didn't examine it without a loop and the glass made it kind of difficult but at my age, I can't see pixilation without a loop darn it!

 

So I contacted the folks who oversee the Adrian George artist website and they confirmed that what I had was an original painting for the Architectural Design cover created for the Munich Olympics. Turns out the owner (important architect) was friends with Adrian and collaborated with him on several projects. It is, as I expected, gouache, pastel and ink. https://www.flickr.com/photos/-phraser-/albums/72157631306993388

 

What interesting information. So an illustration. Entitled 'AD Sales Girl' in that month's index.

Here's that issue for sale on abebooks.com and photo of index.
