About the Item

Hunt Slonem Original signed & inscribed drawing held in elegant hardback monograph, ca. 2012 Unique marker drawing bound in first front end page of lavishly illustrated hardback monograph Boldly inscribed to Nadine and hand signed by the artist with original drawing Publisher : Vendome Press; First Edition (October 1, 2011) 14 x 11 nches x 1.25 inches Makes a gorgeous gift: Original full page drawing done in black marker of a bird beak dedicated to "Nadine", [ME!!] and hand signed by Hunt Slonem. This drawing was done on the first front end page, adjacent to the title page of the stunning, lavishly illustrated with over 600 color plates, 2011 First Edition hardback monograph "The Worlds of Hunt Slonem." More details about the lavish hardback book with illustrated jacket and stunning color plates, that holds this drawing: The Worlds of Hunt Slonem investigates the life and work of this fascinating American artist. Once the enfant terrible of New York’s art world, Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) depicts both natural subjects—birds and butterflies—and portraits—voodoo saints and Abraham Lincoln–in his jubilant, singular paintings. Using multiplicity as a governing principle, Slonem has created a body of work as inimitable—and wildly colorful—as it is recognizable. This in-depth monograph, which spans Slonem’s boyhood in Hawaii to his training at Tulane University and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture to his life today, split between New York and New Orleans, features more than 600 vibrant illustrations. Dominique Nahas delves deep beneath the decorative surface of Slonem’s work to reveal what informs and influences this original and enigmatic artist. Praise for The Worlds of Hunt Slonem: "The Worlds of Hunt Slonem [is] an eye-popping survey of more than 600 illustrations by the legendary style setter." -Houston Chronicle

It incorporates watercolor, ink, iridescent acrylic, rubber stamps, collage, and oil pencil. This piece depicts a surrealist landscape. A cow with an cowl perched on its back stands in the lower left corner, and tracks lead away from it across the bottom of the picture. A small turtle approaches a pond in the lower right. In the center register of the image, two leaves have been collaged into an abstractly-drawn forest. The eagle of the title is shown in several stages of its flight through the blue and yellow sky.
