Leonard Baskin Figurative Prints
American, 1922-2000
LEONARD BASKIN
Born 1922, New Jersey; died 2000.
Leonard Baskin was born the son of a Rabbi. He was educated in art at the New School for Social Research in New York City and at Yale University.
Baskin regarded himself primarily as a sculptor, though he also excelled in printmaking, watercolor, and painting. The artist's mostly figurative work was at odds with much of the art making of his generation, but it nonetheless earned an impressive following.
Baskin is widely regarded as one of the foremost American sculptors of the twentieth century. Boldly embracing political and social issues, he made art that he felt could affect individuals profoundly at both a personal and archetypal level. He also ran a printing press, and his artist books are considered some of the most impressive in the medium.
Baskin's sculptures, books, and works on paper are found in most serious and important public and private collections in the world including the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., and The Museum of Modern Art, New York.to

Woman with Downcast Eyes
By Leonard Baskin
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork "Woman with Downcast Eyes" 1978 is an original engraving with aquatint on Arches paper by noted American artist Leonard Baskin, 1922-2000. It is hand signed and numbered 52/125 in pencil by the artist. The plate mark (image) size is 20 x 14.75 inches, sheet size is 30 x 22 inches. It is in excellent condition, has never been framed.
About the artist.
A highly respected draftsman, print maker, teacher, and sculptor, Leonard Baskin had the ability to depict in an abstract style man and his relation to the world. Whether working with bronze or wood or two-dimensional mediums, his focus remained on large heroic, but flawed human beings who at times recall photographic images of concentration-camp victims or birds with human bodies that suggest mythological forms.
