The Woman-Painter with a Rooster

1951

About the Item

Lithograph, 1951 Handsigned by the artist in pencil and numbered 104/200 Publisher : La Guilde de la Gravure, Paris-Genève Catalog : Passeron 29 38.00 cm. x 57.00 cm. 14.96 in. x 22.44 in. (paper) 30.00 cm. x 44.00 cm. 11.81 in. x 17.32 in. (image) Antoni Clavé (1913-2005) was a major painter-engraver. Born in Spain, he fled Franco's regime and moved to Paris in January 1936, where he spent most of his career. In 1939, he started working in lithography at Desjobert workshop, the printer where he worked the most.
In 1956, he received the prize for engraving at the 28th Venice Biennial, an international recognition of his print production. As in painting, his favorite themes are characters, still lifes, women painters, the theme of the plate we propose. 
The woman-painter is majestic, a queen sitting on her studio stool, her face in front of a frame or a mirror, which acts like the halos in religious paintings. The colors, few in number, are summarized on the artist's palette. Metaphorically, the woman-artist colors the composition, she has the control. A very beautiful lithograph, an ode to the woman-artist, in 1951, an ode to the woman and her creative power. The female character is an allegory of art and the power of painting, which recreates without a model, through memory and imagination. A theme dear to artists for several centuries, an energetic style that goes to the essence, this is what Antoni Clavé's art offers us. LCD4187

Untitled (Tamarind O )
By Leon Polk Smith
Located in New York, NY
Leon Polk Smith (1906 -1996) holds a unique place in a long tradition of American geometric abstract painting. Born near Chikasha, a Native American territory later annexed by the U.S. as the state of Oklahoma, Smith’s parents, who were of Cherokee ancestry, raised him with both a strong sense of his heritage and an abiding respect for the land. Art would eventually draw Smith to New York where he would quickly embrace elements of geometric abstraction in his work. Many of Smith’s hard-edge compositions could be viewed as distillations of imagery drawn from the Oklahoma landscape...
