About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
“Sunday Dinner for a Soldier”, is from Ten Lithographs by Ten Artists and is based on the World War II-era poems of Keith Douglas. It is laid with heavy sarcasm as the scene described is an operating room in a hospital at Camp Lewis Washington. The orange and especially the military green add morbidity overtones, in other words, no special dinner here, just suffering and pharmaceutical IVs. This has all been professionally reframed under conservator glass.
Robert Andrew Parker is an American artist known for both his paintings and prints of figures, landscapes, and animals. Parker has produced set designs for operas and films, as well as illustrations for over 40 children’s books during the course of his career. Born in Norfolk, VA in 1927, he went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago during the late 1950s. From there he continued his studies at Skowhegan Art School in Maine.
In 1970 the artist began one of his best-known series of works. Based on the World War II-era poems of Keith Douglas, the suite of colors portray both the wistful days of a British solider on holiday and the bleak reality of his time fighting in the battlefields of Egypt. Parker lives and works in New York, NY. The artist’s works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.
Unframed its dimensions are 21 5/8 x 29 1/8" (55 x 74 cm); sheet: 22 1/16 x 30 1/16" (56 x 76.3 cm) and is numbered 42 from an edition of 120. It was published by Shorewood-Bank Street Atelier for the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Inscribed in the lower left corner: "otolaryngological operating room, Camp Lewis Washington"
