Mostly known linocuts that combine social subjects with a modernist figure-ground style, Jacobi proves that 'artists have hands.' By that my old boss Sylvan Cole meant that even if they have a preferred medium, like Jacobi with linocut, they could do just about anything. And here the artist has made a New Jersey subject shine. The Raritan Bridge of course goes over the Raritan River that flows from the inland mountains (well, hills) of New Jersey to the Raritan Bay and then into the Atlantic Ocean. It was stolen from the Lenape by the Dutch and fought over by the English. It's role in American Industrial History is the stuff of legends. With the addition of a canal it transported anthracite coal from Pennsylvania helping to make the this part of New Jersey into a financial powerhouse. Sadly industry also polluted the entire region but now there is on-going restoration. Of course the bridge is also known to riders of the New Jersey Coast Line and drivers on the Garden State Parkway -- both take travelers 'down the shore,' This twist of heavy industry...

Signed, titled, and numbered, in pencil. The proposed edition was 100 although it is very unlikely that these were printed. This large and intensely urban lithograph, Family Flats, by Millard Sheets portrays the Bunker Hill neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Sheets (1907-1989) was a painter, watercolorist, printmaker, mosaic artist, and teacher, who worked in Southern California. He attended the Chouinard Art institute and studied with F. Tolles Chamberlin and Clarence Hinkle...

This lithograph shows the Obelisk (Cleopatra’s Needle), 1425 BCE, in Central Park, New York City, just behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on Greywacke Knoll. (This makes it a double example of ‘art about art.’) Carved from a single piece of granite from Aswan, it was gifted to this country by the Khedive Ismail Pasha...

A perfect summer day. A young mother, little boy, and even smaller girl have their luncheon under a make shift 'fly' -- a stripped cloth canopy fixed up with poles. Although it is titled 'Seaside Nomads,' to me it has the look of a bay or inlet. It's relatively flat and there are all sorts of grasses, old...

He first pursued the same musical career as his parents, who were both musicians, leaving his home as a trained double-bass player in 1892 to move to Chatou near Versailles. After absolving his military service in Vitré Maurice Vlaminck worked as a musician until he accidentally met André Derain in 1900. It was Derain who kindled Vlaminck's artistic ambitions.
