Stan Washburn 1
It Seemed To Me

1974

About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered etching from the edition of 90. An idyllic setting for Adam and Eve before "the expulsion". In individual prints, and his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek wit. This is one of Washburn's largest prints, showing all types of animals co-existing peacefully in a bucolic landscape. Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works. A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.
