About the Item

Artist: Walter Nelson – American (1942- ) Title: Sunflowers. From the Fleur portfolio Year: 1981 Medium: Dye transfer color photograph Sight size: 14.25 x 11 inches. Sheet size: 21.25 x 16.5 inches Matted size: 26.75 x 21.25 inches Edition Size: 25 This one: 7/25 Signature: Reverse Condition: Very good Unframed In the 1980s, Walter Nelson produced a dazzling portfolio of dye transfer color prints of flower still lifes. It was called Fleur, and it quickly sold out. This dye transfer photograph is from that portfolio. It is in very good condition with no flaws to note. For the Fleur Portfolio, Nelson used pastels and gesso on paper for the background element, combining still life floral arrangements with vase and fabric. He then photographed the compositions with an 8 x 10 view camera and printed them, using the unparalleled dye transfer process. The end result was a dye-transfer portfolio of 10 images “Fleur”. Dye transfer prints have a richness, depth, and fidelity unmatched by any other kind of photographic print. They can show extraordinary subtlety of tone and hue, combined with a brightness range of 500:1 from blackest black to whitest white. They offer the viewer a visual richness and depth which cannot be found in ordinary prints. Walter W. Nelson is a multi-disciplined artist working in photography, painting, sculpture, and sculpture-relief paintings. Over the past forty years he has produced five portfolios, including several series of sculpture-relief paintings, paintings on canvas and paper, and photography series both in color, B&W gelatin silver and platinum palladium prints. Two books of his photography have been published: “Ribbons Of Time: The Dalquest Research Site,” in the Big Bend area of Texas; and “The Black Place: Two Seasons,” focused on the area in New Mexico where Georgia O’Keeffe painted and produced one of her most beautiful abstract paintings called “Black Place II”.
