About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
“Sunday Dinner for a Soldier”, is from Ten Lithographs by Ten Artists and is based on the World War II-era poems of Keith Douglas. It is laid with heavy sarcasm as the scene described is an operating room in a hospital at Camp Lewis Washington. The orange and especially the military green add morbidity overtones, in other words, no special dinner here, just suffering and pharmaceutical IVs. This has all been professionally reframed under conservator glass.
Robert Andrew Parker is an American artist known for both his paintings and prints of figures, landscapes, and animals. Parker has produced set designs for operas and films, as well as illustrations for over 40 children’s books during the course of his career. Born in Norfolk, VA in 1927, he went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago during the late 1950s. From there he continued his studies at Skowhegan Art School in Maine.
In 1970 the artist began one of his best-known series of works. Based on the World War II-era poems of Keith Douglas, the suite of colors portray both the wistful days of a British solider on holiday and the bleak reality of his time fighting in the battlefields of Egypt. Parker lives and works in New York, NY. The artist’s works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

- Joyce T. Nagel Lithograph "Snowscape" Artist's Proof Winter Scene Signed DatedLocated in Detroit, MI"Snowscape" is a study in contrasts being both a landscape and an abstract study of black and white negative/positive shapes. It is very powerful in the stark scene created and because of the interesting placement of the black and white areas. Being an "Artist's Proof" means that it was the first print pulled before the artist approved the look of the print and initiated further printing. It is an accomplished piece of depth and intellectual complexity. It is a Lithograph. Lithography is a planographic printmaking process in which a design is drawn onto a flat stone (or prepared metal plate, usually zinc or aluminum) and affixed by means of a chemical reaction. Like an actual storm whose characteristics are unique this monoprint is a one-off print and unique. She has captured the heavy dark feel of storm clouds and the slashing rain that accompanies a storm. Nagel has the ability to infuse her work with the intricate characteristics found in nature.
