Hall of Fame
Screenprint, 1951, Ryan 94, edition 25. 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 in. Signed, dated, titled and numbered in pencil. This is a fine impression with full margins. The condition is excellent. Landon worked for the Springfield, MA Public Works of Art Project (PWAP). He also studied at the Art Students League and while in NY, he was introduced to the silkscreen medium and never looked back. He moved there in 1941 and worked with Harry Gottlieb, Elizabeth Olds, Harry Shokler and others. "Hall of Fame" was inspired by a trip to Sweden and Norway and the stylized iconography relates to early Celtic petroglyphs.

Screenprint, 1946, Ryan 222, edition 30. 9 1/4 x 12 3/8 in. Signed in pencil. Here we have a fine impression with full margins. The condition is excellent. Landon was very active with the National Serigraph Society and later served as the Society's president. Landon was always intrigued by surrealism and this print is both humorous and intriguing. The maze traps the hapless visitor in a world dominated by gaudy Victorian wallpaper.
