Wooden Michael Back Orignal Rudolph Valentino Art

This is another great piece of original Michael Back art I just obtained. This piece depicts a side profile of Valentino from The Eagle. The bottom left corner reads RV, the bottom right corner reads, "Back, 89." This is a wonderful one of a kind piece from Michael Back, who's Valentino collection was featured in Jack Scagnetti's book, the Intimate Life of Rudolph Valentino.

  1. Gorgeous. It's remarkable that he could achieve such a good likeness in this medium. You can definitely feel the love from the artist for his subject coming through in this piece.

  2. That is very true. He really is a fantastic artist. He has made various items such as the burnt wood pieces, drawings, and plaques. I believe he told me he has been collecting for over 60 years!

  5. John, My name is Brad Frick, I run this blog. The item listed was created by Michael Back, I am unsure if that is who you are looking for.
