• Lot Description
  Large folk drawing "Creative" Gerald De Prie 1935 - 1999 Three coke bottles, 3/13/1995 Colored pencil and graphite on paper Image: 17 1/2" x 23 1/2" Frame: 25 1/2" X 32" Gerald De Prie was an American Postwar & Contemporary artist who was born in 1935. A Navy veteran, plagued by heart problems and visibly “nervous”, Gerald DePrie lived alone with his dog in a small apartment in Huntington, West Virginia. “Creative” DePrie is a name he chose for himself. The themes of his drawings, which he executed very quickly, are diverse: flowers, nudes, architecture. When he drew a character, “Creative” DePrie represented him first naked, then added clothing. He was fascinated by nursery rhymes and ancient places, especially Egypt.
