Lance Lawlor Lithograph "Design in Black & White" Geometric Abstract

1990s

About the Item

"Design in Black & White" is a lithograph by the well-known Michigan designer Lance Lawlor. He was a Master of linear and decorative design and this print displays the talent for which he was sought after. Lance Stephen Lawlor was born January 6, 1955, in Detroit, Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan, graduating with a BFA in 1975 from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. He was a student of world renown costume designers of the 1930s-1950s, especially Adrian Adolph Greenberg (Dinner At Eight, Grand Hotel), Orry George Kelly (Casablanca, Now, Voyager), and Edith Head (Rear Window, Vertigo). Throughout the 1980s, he was a costume designer for Ann Arbor Civic Theater (The Late Christopher Bean, The Boyfriend) and University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society. From 1986-87, Lance served as a costume technician in the University of Michigan theater department. Lawlor enjoyed a variety of pursuits, including floral design, furniture restoration, and decorative painting, eventually settling into a life-long career as an Interior Designer. He had an unerring eye for color, fabric and proportions, and attracted both commercial and residential clients from California, Florida, Connecticut, Chicago, Mexico, Mackinac Island, and all over Michigan. He worked on diverse projects, including many professional offices, salons, Liberty Sports Club, and with the Iroquois Hotel on Mackinac Island for eighteen years. He had the gift of using humor to direct clients, many of whom became friends, to a better design decision with such lines as, "You have two choices, and one of them is wrong." He left a lasting legacy of beautifully designed spaces and warm and welcoming homes. Lance loved opulence in contemporary and traditional style, gardens, art, beauty, Northern Michigan, and a solidly made cocktail. Measurements for Lithograph without frame: 24 " h x 18" w. It is signed and numbered 47/80.

  • "Travelers", Abstract Drypoint Etching and Aquatint, Numbered and Signed
    By Richard Jacobs
    Located in Detroit, MI
    "Travelers" is a work that displays Richard Jacobs early Balinese influence. This abstract work made with drypoint etching manifests a layer of depth and contrast that is achieved through an Indonesian technique of drawing the lines of the resist or printing it with a copper stamp that allows an artisan to selectively color the work through the soaking process. "Travelers" is exemplary of this earlier aquatint process before Jacobs would go on to apply a diversity of colors to his work. The print is 39 x 29 inches and is signed and numbered from an edition of 30 by the artist. Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 16 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit...
