A vibrant limited-edition serigraph by New York artist Miriam Ecker, Enchanted Jungle overflows with tropical flora and wildlife—lion, tiger, giraffe, parrots—rendered in bold, layered color. A standout example of mid- to late-20th-century American decorative modernism and collectible screenprint art.
Enchanted Jungle presents a lush, storybook landscape populated by iconic wildlife set within dense botanical growth. The composition is richly patterned yet clearly structured, combining simplified silhouettes with crisp color separations typical of high-quality serigraphy. Ecker’s background in illustration is evident in the confident line work, balanced spacing, and engaging narrative clarity.
The work blends decorative modernism with illustrative realism: flat, saturated greens and warm earth tones establish visual rhythm, while animals and flowers provide focal contrast and movement. Produced as a multi-color serigraph, the print relies on successive screen layers to achieve sharp edges and consistent color fields. The sheet is pencil-signed by the artist, titled “Enchanted Jungle” at the lower margin, and numbered 272/275, confirming its status as a limited, collectible edition.
Miriam Ecker is an American artist and native New Yorker whose formal training was in commercial and advertising art. She worked professionally as an illustrator for approximately fifteen years before expanding her practice into fine art. Seeking greater creative range, Ecker explored painting, printmaking, and mixed media, working in watercolor, acrylic, oil, pen and ink, etching, serigraphy, and lithography.
She presented multiple one-woman gallery exhibitions and developed a body of work characterized by strong graphic structure, narrative imagery, and a vibrant decorative sensibility. In 1966, one of her paintings was selected for inclusion in a major juried exhibition of American contemporary artists associated with the Museum of Modern Art. Ecker has received honors for both her paintings and graphic works, and her art is held in numerous private collections across the United States, from the East Coast to California.
