Dick Goetz - JFK Print & Serigraph...

My wife's great aunt (104, God bless her) has a framed "proof" (5-1/2" wide by 4-1/2" high) by famous Oklahoma City artist Dick Goetz. The work is entitled, "Old Barn" and the name "Norman" appears centered under the illustration, following by Mr. Goetz's signature in the lower-right corner. Is there an avenue through your publication to ask readers for any information they might have on Mr. Goetz and this work? Best regards.

We scanned the "Old Barn" proof and sent you this file. The framed work is not an oil painting but a small and striking pen/ink still-life drawing of barn and animals -- beautifully drawn. As near as I can tell this is the same Dick Goetz who produced the "John F. Kennedy portrait," in 1961. I've been trying to get more information on which portrait. I thought perhaps it was he who produced this engraved portrait of JFK. I'll have to ask the Bureau of Engraving in Washington to cite the artist.

It appears the engraving here was made from Dick Goetz's 1961, serigraphic canvas oil Print, signed "R.V. Goetz", a limited edition (No. 1 thru 550) prints that were made by the Stan Ramsey Co., Inc. Ramsey company was a Serigrapher in Oklahoma. One of the Ramsey children wrote in your Okie Legacy that their dad sold the company in the late '70s." -- Stan S., New York City
