Paul E. Maxwell
"#24-80D Color Climb", Mixed Media Stencil Casting, Pencil Signed and Numbered

1980s

About the Item

"#24-80D Color Climb" is an exemplary work of Paul E. Maxwell's "stencil casting" works. This abstract but grid-like work employs a thickly textured and layered surface that has also come be known as "Maxwell Pochoir"; pochoir being a a highly refined technique of making fine limited editions of stencil prints. Maxwell Pochoir or stencil casting is similar to serigraphy; however, it uses a unique acrylic molding paste which permits work in a heavy, precisely controlled relief that can be applied to various surfaces, including paper, canvas, wood, etc, This process uses techniques and materials that make possible a substantial relief element in printmaking. This piece is numbered 12 out of 250. The stencil is 11.25 x 29 inches. Paul E. Maxwell was born in Frost Prairie, Arkansas on Sept. 17, 1925. Maxwell received his BA in art from Principa College in 1950 and did his graduate work at Claremont College. From 1955 to 1958, Maxwell taught at the Houston Museum of Art and at the University of Houston. From 1959 to 1961, he lectured and exhibited his work in Europe under the sponsorship of the U.S. Information Agency. During the 1960s through the 1980s, Maxwell worked on commissions such as a wall sculpture in the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the free-standing sculpture for the lobby of the Stark County Library in Canton, Ohio. He passed away in 2015. Maxwell's work has been exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, and David Cook Galleries, among many others around the world.

  • Joyce T. Nagel Print "Vegetable Forms No. 9" "1st State" Signed Dated Ltd Ed
    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Vegetable Forms No. 9" "1st State" is a beautiful linear design woodcut of an artichoke. What is intellectually interesting is the fractal beauty of nature found in the artichoke. A fractal is a kind of pattern that we observe often in nature and in art. Whenever you observe a series of patterns repeating over and over again, at many different scales, and where any small part resembles the whole, that’s a fractal. The Artichoke is the perfect example in that the shape of the leaves repeat themselves and they are the same shape as the fruit itself. Fractals are exciting, not only for their mathematical or conceptual representation, but also for the fact that you can visualise the math—and it’s beautiful! This print is rendered in an intense green with a light blue color to delineate the intriguing linear element of the artichoke's leaves. Joyce Tilley Nagel...

  • Giuseppe Capogrossi Iconic Comb Design "Superficie 324" Serigrafia
    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Superficie 324" is a 1988 screen print (serigraph) of a 1959 painting by Capogrossi. This is one of his famous "comb" or "fork" works that he perfected in the 1950s and continued to create for the remainder of his life. The blocks of primary red and yellow colors give a bright, joyful feel and contrast to the strong bold black that was Capogrossi's consistent color for the "combs". With no allegorical, psychological, or symbolic meanings, these structural elements could be assembled and connected in countless variations. Intricate and insistent, Capogrossi's signs determined the construction of the pictorial surface. This piece is identified along one side: Giuseppe Capogrossi By SIAE 1988 Silvio Zamorani Editor Via Saccarelli, 9 10144 Torino Italy Tel. (39)(11) 4730554 Progetto Grafico (Graphic Project): Studio Walter Benjamin. Serigrafia (Screen Print): BISI Torino. Capogrossi was born in Rome. After obtaining a degree in law in 1923–1924, he decided to study painting with Felice Carena at Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma. In 1927 Capogrossi embarked on a formative trip to Paris together with fellow artists and acquaintances Fausto Pirandello, Corrado Cagli and Emanuele Cavalli...
