Bringing a colorful visual pun to a familiar expression, D.G. Smith’s “A Heart Between a Rock and a Hard Place” comes from the artist’s Vandercook Hearts series dating to 1985. The composition places a large red heart between rounded blue and purple forms, translating the phrase “between a rock and a hard place” into playful contemporary imagery. Bold shades of red, orange, blue, and lavender are paired with loose graphic lines and simplified forms characteristic of Smith’s whimsical heart designs and the colorful graphic aesthetic of the mid-1980s. Presented on deckle-edge paper beneath a wide white mat and slim gold-tone frame, the artwork includes the title and D.G. Smith / Vandercook Hearts identification beneath the image. A distinctive piece for collectors of D.G. Smith artwork, Vandercook Hearts, 1980s art, heart décor, contemporary pop art, romantic artwork, and colorful modern interiors. Good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use.
