About the Item

Artist: Fran Bull Title: Three Egrets Year: 1980 Print: Screen Print on Rives BFK White paper Size: 22'' x 30'' inches Edition: Signed in pencil and marked 230/250 Fran Bull is best known for wildlife and other water-reflected images such as boats sailing down a river, sculpture reflected in a pond and buildings mirrored in lakes. Each of her paintings contain subtle tonal changes remarkably sensitive to the light source, usually the sun, and each image also involves the monumentous task of having to create perspective in a moving flow of water. Like many other Photorealist artists, Bull begins with photographic images as the source of her inspiration. “I look for qualities in a photograph, which will give rise to any number of painting possibilities. A transformation occurs in the process of focusing on the parts of a photographic image, and then. by means of art, representing these parts. In general Photo-Realism, and particularly what I do, deals intimately with building a whole from intensely realized parts.” This striking silkscreen print by acclaimed American artist Fran Bull, titled Three Egrets (1980), is a beautifully detailed and atmospheric work that captures the elegance of these majestic birds. The composition features three white egrets standing gracefully in shallow water, their reflections shimmering across the dark, rippling surface. Bull masterfully balances realism and abstraction, using a limited yet striking color palette to emphasize light, shadow, and texture. A signed and numbered limited edition print (230/250), this piece highlights Bull’s expertise in printmaking and her deep appreciation for nature’s beauty. The contrast between the dark background and the luminous white feathers adds a sense of depth and serenity, making it a captivating addition to any collection.

Three Herons - At the flaming lake -
Located in Berlin, DE
Rudolf Hayder (active in the 1st half of the 20th century), Heron. Color woodcut on thin Japanese paper, 24 x 29 cm (image), 29 x 36 cm (sheet size), signed by hand at lower right "R. Hayder" and titled by hand as "Reiher". Lower left inscribed by hand "Orig.[inal] woodcut, hand print". - A little bit stained in the margins and very occasionally in the image, minimal hole above the signature, traces of creasing. At the back side's margins with remnants of an old mounting. About the artwork In the context of French Japonism, the color woodblock print, which was widespread in the Asian region, was rediscovered for Western art. The artists of the time, such as Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, were inspired not only by the cultural influence, but also by the two-dimensionality of the pictorial spaces. Thus, color woodcuts became an important moment in the development of the modern pictorial concept founded by Impressionism. In Rudolf Hayder's "Herons", too, the two-dimensionality of the pictorial space is decisive for the pictorial effect. The herons, surrounded by reeds, are framed by the yellow background of the lake, followed by the dark blue-greenish stripe of the opposite shore and, above it, the sky in a lighter blue-green. Formally, it is a sequence of planes, but the two-dimensionality of the motif creates a spatial effect. This spatiality in the surface creates an intense pictorial effect. Hayder intensifies this effect with the blazing lake. In terms of color, the water becomes a sunset. The yellow turns reddish brown toward the shore, then fades to brownish red, while the shore is a watery turquoise...
