About the Item

DREAMFIELDS II is a hand drawn original lithograph by the artist Sybil Kleinrock (spouse of the renowned jewelry designer David Yurman. It was printed in seven colors using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival Arches printmaking paper 100% acid free. DREAMFIELDS II is an energetic abstract drawing in which Kleinrock utilizes the frottage drawing technique to achieve a textural effect in the background; dashes of color in shades of lime yellow, periwinkle blue, red, graphite gray on pastel purple with pencil and stroke markings creating the look of electrical currents running across the composition. Print size - 21.5 x 29 in. unframed, very good condition hand signed in pencil by Sybil Kleinrock Edition size - 150, plus proofs Year published - 1981 Printer - J K Fine Art Editions Co., NYC About frottage drawing technique - The frottage technique is performed by superimposing a sheet of paper or canvas on a surface with roughness and relief (e.g. a stone, a wooden surface, leaves, canvas sacks.) and rubbing it in with pencils, crayons, chalks or other drawing tools. It was already commonly used in Ancient China and classical Greece, to obtain simple copies of bas-reliefs on rice or parchment paper but it was officially invented in the 20th Century, during the Avant-Garde movement of Surrealism. The pioneer of frottage art was the German naturalized American artist Max Ernst, who in 1926 made consistent use of this technique for the first time in Histoire Naturelle, his collection of nature-inspired drawings.
