RAYMOND SCOTT
2008 fine art print / edition of 30 / $300.00
Maestro of the Machine Age, RAYMOND SCOTT (b. Harry Warnow, Sept. 10, 1908, Brooklyn; d. Feb. 8, 1994, Los Angeles) was a perfectionist bandleader and quirky composer in the 1930s and '40s who evolved into a high-tech musical guru in the '50s and '60s. His early works, particularly "Powerhouse" and "The Toy Trumpet," were immortalized in countless classic Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoon soundtracks. A half-century later his novelties spiced episodes of The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, Animaniacs, The Oblongs, and Duckman. The recordings of his 1937-39 six-man "Quintette" (depicted in the portrait) screamed animation—yet Scott never wrote a note for a cartoon in his life. He was creating what he termed "descriptive jazz," typified by such wild titles as "New Year's Eve in a Haunted House," "War Dance for Wooden Indians," and "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals."

The Raymond Scott portrait was commissioned to commemorate the composer's centennial in September 2008. When the portrait was complete, the decision was made to issue it as a signed, limited edition fine art print, making it the first Drew Friedman work to be offered commercially as a fine art reproduction.
Only thirty (30) prints of RAYMOND SCOTT were produced for this edition. Each print is signed in the lower right, hand-titled in the center, and numbered in the lower left (all beneath the image). We have sold print numbers 1/30 thru 13/30, and are now offering numbers 14/30 thru 20/30, unframed, at $300 each (plus shipping). The price of remaining prints will increase as edition stock depletes.
The image area is 16-1/4" high x 15" wide on an untrimmed 22" x 17" sheet. Paper, ink, and production specifications are available on our PRINT SPECS page.
