About the Item

"Wait! 7/8" mezzotint, 4 x 6 inches (Framed size: 11 x 12 inches), $300 A. David Crown, M.D., (1924 - 2016), Founder and Director of the International Mezzotint Society, was born in London, England and educated at Cambridge University, the University of London and the London Hospital Medical School. He became a physician in 1947 and moved to Rochester, NY in 1948. He practiced internal medicine until 1982 when he retired. This enabled him to pursue full-time his “other career as an artist.” In 1983 he moved to Gainesville, Florida. Dr. Crown worked in many different media: mezzotints, woodblocks, linocuts, etchings and collographs, oil painting, and sculpture in steel, aluminum and bronze. He conducted workshops and demonstrations, and gave numerous lectures on the history of printmaking and on a wide variety of printmaking topics and techniques. He was awarded a residency for printmaking at the prestigious Frans Masereel Center in Belgium. His works are in numerous collections across America, Canada, Japan, Europe and Russia. ARTIST STATEMENT: My MEZZOTINTS vary from small black and white to 9"x12" three and four-plate color. Some of my mezzotints are created in the classical manner, others may be created with the rocker alone without burnishing. Some incorporate dry point, rouleau, masks, etc., and in some cases four or more plates with multiple passes through the press. I rock the plates and print them myself in small editions that rarely exceed 25. In 1997 I founded the International Mezzotint Society which now numbers more than 90 members internationally. I have taught mezzotint techniques, lectured at various institutions, given demonstrations of my own methods to individuals and groups of printmakers and have had articles published in the "Journal of the Print World" and "Printworks" in England.

Profils Horizontaux (20 men seated in a church, a hall, union or political?)

By Maurice Pasternak

Located in New Orleans, LA

Viewers are always curious about this image. I count 20 people seated -- all men. Why? Three of the men are looking over their shoulders toward the back. Are they impatient to see late arrivers? The seating seems to be pew like. Pasternak, like most artists, wants the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the image and is most circumspect to give an explanation. A church, a union hall, a political meeting -- which is it? The mood seems to be one of anxiety rather than celebration. The artist did answer why all men. He says that "he likes to create the tension of the image on the page. Putting women and men together...

Untitled, 1974

By Claudia Sisemore

Located in Salt Lake City, UT

"Untitled, 1974" by Claudia Sisemore, acylic on canvas, 58 x 56 inches, $7,200. Unframed. "I have a vague idea of what I am going to paint. I read that many artists are inspired by an idea before they begin their work and plan their approach and process based on that idea or muse. Others become inspired after they have begun working and watching colors, shapes and designs form. I basically belong the second group. Usually, after painting begins in a loose, free manner, I become excited by certain colors and patterns and continue from there." -Claudia Sisemore -- Caudia Sisemore says she was teaching English when artist David Chaplin (an equally popular and influential teacher) was at Weber and initially got her into landscape painting. “Then he took me to a show at the Art Barn and Lee [Deffebach] was showing there [with Don Olsen...
