JOAN MIRO — Original Mourlot Hand-Pulled Stone Lithograph printed on wove paper, it is the back cover of ” XXe Siecle #4″, published in 1954; edition size about 5,000, probably a few hundred circulating around nowadays, or far less, as a result of many of them falling into a permanent collection of a library, university or museum. A very rare original print with lots of early primitivism and strong paint strokes. The double “X” signifies the “twentieth century” aspect of the famous high-grade French art “magazine” of the Golden Age of Art. Condition is Extra-Fine.

Bidding Range: $950 – $1500

SIDE-NOTES: This is hard to find, and expensive to buy, with no hope of “fast turnover”. It may take years to sell a print in a gallery. There are some XXe Siecle originals on eBay, and a lot of things that people THINK are XXe Siecle that are also there. Some prints are as low as $30 bucks or so, when the seller is unaware of the value of the print, and when the artist is not as well-collected, highly valued or among the “Big Name Artists” like Rembrandt, Renoir, Chagall, Miro, Picasso, and Matisse. It’s not a good idea to seek out bargains in the art market. You pay for what you get, and you get what you pay for. Continue reading →

LITHOGRAPH -- "Farm at Land's End, Pennsylvania", Plate Signed & Dated — LITHOGRAPH — “Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania”, Signed & Dated in the Plate

Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania is an exercise in light and dark, as well as the translation of “still-life” techniques into Plein-Aire style, with the emphasis on shape, form, mass and composition. Patchy sunlight, silhouetted tree-line, rolling soil and rounded silo with ladders and side-detail, highlighted thatched roofing on the house, soft late-afternoon back-lighting and shadows along the fence-line and banked ditch along the roadside make this a very ambitious drawing project.

GRAPHITE LITHOGRAPHIC STYLE MINIATURE LANDSCAPES — $25 each. Yes, that is the wholesale price, no discount for quantity, because there’s a lot of cost behind each print, and we don’t control the printing costs, the printers do. The originals were created in graphite on Heavyweight 300 gram Arches Rives BFK etching paper, and were massaged into prints by Marvette, who matched the prints with the originals. In a frame, you can’t tell the difference between the print and the original. My original graphite works are no longer for sale, prints only. Continue reading →
