David DeLong (NJ/GA, 1930-2001), Four Etchings of Bonaventure Cemetery, comprising an etching of a memorial statue of a woman, signed in plate and dated 97 (slipped in frame, likely pencil signed below mat), an etching of a tomb stone signed in plate and dated 96, pencil signed lower right, and etching of a memorial statue of a young girl, pencil signed lower right, and an etching of multiple tombstones signed and dated 1996 in plate, and pencil signed lower right, all matted and framed. Three smaller frames: 20 1/4 in. x 17 1/4 in.

David Delong had two passions - Art and Motorcycles. Over his fifty-year career, he was a versatile artist exploring many media to examine persistent themes - The genre of motorcycle racing, the figure, architecture and Tybee tides. 'Rich, saturated blues and greens appear in early, expressive seascapes... Drawing upon Delong's memories of his seafaring days in the merchant marine during the late 1940's, these works also evidence his familiarity with the robust seascapes of American artists like George Bellows.' (David Delong: Passages, Telfair Museum of Art 2006, pg. 23).

Measurements: Height: of frames 21 in. x Width: 17 in.
