About the Item
Medium: Etching
Edition of 90
Year: 1973
ImageSize: 4.25 x 4.25 inches
Signed, titled and numbered etching from the edition of 90. Humorous portrait of nearly nude bird performing a strip-tease with her own feathers. In individual prints, and his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek with. This is one of Washburn's largest prints, showing all types of animals co-existing peacefully in a bucolic landscape.
Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works.
A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.
