Biography

Artist Lee Reynolds (b.1936) received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California, and in the 1960s he became the director of Vanguard Studios. Lee Reynolds paintings were done in acrylics or oil-based mediums, had basic patterns, and encompassed a range of subjects meant to fit into any decor.
Described in his obituary as an “artist and entrepreneur,” Burr founded the Vanguard Studios in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 1964. This was essentially an art factory with an assembly line of artists mass-producing paintings using silk screen printing with some handwork to produce a raised effect on the canvas.The above procedure is a gross simplification of the process, but the goal at Vanguard was to produce oil paintings the average American could afford to hang on their walls over the sofa. Major outlets were furniture stores and interior designers.
The subject matter of the Reynolds Vanguard Studios paintings ranged from abstracts to landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, representations of flowers, Southwestern and Mexican themes, birds , hot air balloons, rodeo cowboys, seashells, musicians and cats and dogs.
