Aaron Fink
"Red Pepper", Still-Life Aquatint Etching Lithograph, Signed & Numbered

1993

About the Item

"Red Pepper" is a work that displays Aaron Fink's experiments in still-life expressionism with its more than life-like depiction of a bell pepper in vibrant color. This print made with aquatint etching marries the expressionist style with the classic realistic depiction of food that we often take for granted.The print is 36.63 x 29.63 inches and is signed and numbered from an edition of 30 by the artist. Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 11 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit. This is a separate lithograph from "Yellow Pepper" which can be purchased separately but is including in the photographs for contrast as a set. Aaron Fink, the son of Boston Expressionist artist Barbara Swan or Barbara Swan Fink, was born in 1955 in Boston, Massachusetts. His work follows in his family's footsteps of Boston Expressionism and its related Boston Figurative Expressionism. His work utilizes oil, prints, sculpture, and works on paper and often depict still-life and everyday objects that are empowered with a hyperreal effect from the usage of strong color and contrast. He received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1977 and his MFA from Yale University in 1979. He has been exhibited and publicly collected at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the DeCordova, the Farnsworth Museum, the Fogg Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the National Gallery of Art.

    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Spring/Daffodils" captures the essence of the colors of spring and its meaning by choosing Daffodils, the first large common flower of the season that is so welcomed after a long hard mid-west winter. Flowers, also, are an iconic choice of subject matter for many artists from the Dutch Masters and their large vases of flowers to Alex Katz and his mammoth portraits of "flowers." Some of Manet's last paintings that were exquisitely rendered were of the common flowers lilacs and roses. Joyce Nagel...

  • "Untitled IV", Abstract Aquatint Color Etching Lithograph, Signed and Numbered
    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Untitled IV" is a work that displays James Hansen's intense colors and shapes of his abstract and surrealist style.

The print is 32-3/4 x 25-3/4 inches and is signed and numbered from an edition of 30 by the artist. Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 20 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit.

  • Silver Rock Melon: A Framed 19th C. Color Engraving by George Brookshaw
    By George Brookshaw
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This is a 19th century colored aquatint and stipple engraving finished by hand entitled "Silver Rock Melon", drawn and engraved by George Brookshaw and published in London in 1812 as plate 67 in his 'Pomona Britannica; or, A Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits'. It depicts a Silver Rock Melon still on the vine, but the melon lies on a heater green mat. A wedge of the melon has been dissected to reveal its inner anatomy, including the seeds. The melon skin is a heather and light green color, while the inner portions are a light peach color. The vine and leaves are shown attractive shades of light green and there are soft yellow flowers. The plant is displayed on a light brown textured background with shadows to impart 3-dimensionality. The scene is reminiscent of an engraving in an 18th century artistically stylized human anatomy atlas. There are wide white margins. The title and inscription lies within the lower border. This striking engraving is presented in a reddish brown decorative wood frame with a darker brown scroll-work outer trim and a gold-colored inner fillet and a thick heather green mat. The frame measures 25.75" high, 21.5" wide and 1.13" deep. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. There is a short thin vertical line of discoloration in the lower margin through the word "melon" and a tiny spot in the upper margin on the left. The print and frame are otherwise in excellent condition. There is a second Brookshaw engraving that is framed in identical moulding, although a slightly different size and a different color mat. t depicts a cluster of grapes. The two prints would make a striking display pairing...

  • White Hamburgh Grape: A Framed 19th C. Color Engraving by George Brookshaw
    By George Brookshaw
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This is a 19th century colored aquatint and stipple engraving finished by hand entitled "White Hamburgh Grape", drawn and engraved by George Brookshaw and published in London in 1812 as plate 60 in his 'Pomona Britannica; or, A Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits'. It depicts a cluster of pale green grapes still on the vine. The vine and leaves are shown in attractive shades of green and brown. The plant lays on a brown textured background with shadows to impart 3-dimensionality. The scene is reminiscent of an engraving in an 18th century artistically stylized human anatomy atlas. There is a light brown title rectangle in the lower center which is blank, suggesting this may be a more rare preproduction proof. There are wide white margins. This striking engraving is presented in a reddish brown decorative wood frame with a darker brown scroll-work outer trim and a gold-colored inner fillet and a thick light beige mat. The frame measures 26" high, 22" wide and 1.13" deep. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. There is a tiny spot in the lower margin on the left and another in the left margin. The print and frame are otherwise in excellent condition. There is a second Brookshaw engraving that is framed in identical moulding, although a slightly different size and a different color mat.
