Brad Faine
Snake Eyes 4

2023

About the Item

Snake Eyes 4 is one of a series of 12 unique color variations of this title. The digital pigment print with diamond dust on canvas is signed and titled on the verso, and framed in a contemporary, black wood moulding. Reference and appropriation occupy hallowed ground in art history - since the earliest days of artist’s workshops, copying the work of the masters was a technique used to hone one’s skills. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the practice of referencing and remaking great works became a means of placing oneself in dialogue with the masters and declaring one’s place within the canon. Carrying the tradition of referencing the canon into New Media art, Brad Faine (1945- ) is a renaissance man: a master printmaker, professor, artist, published author and inventor. It comes as no surprise then that when contemplating the way forward, Faine is also attracted to that which came before. His works reference literature and art; as well as veering into pure abstraction and employing letters to add a linguistic element. His images are smart and layered – by using the computer to create and manipulate images, Faine’s practice places him in dialogue with other artists who have embraced digital tools such as David Hockney and his iPad drawings. Simultaneously, with his appropriation of existing imagery to give form to message, his appreciation of literature, and his pointed tweaks at social issues, Faine is also in dialogue with Dada artists such as Hannah Höch or Kurt Schwitters.

  • Mirror #9 (C.114, Mirror Series), 1972
    By Roy Lichtenstein
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Mirror #9 (C.114) from the Mirror Series is a screenprint and lithograph on paper, 30 x 21.18 inches, signed and dated 'rf Lichtenstein '72' lower center margin and framed in a contemporary white frame. Catalog - Corlett, The Prints of Roy Lichtenstein - A Catalogue Raisonne 1948 - 1997, Hudson Hills Press, NY and National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., 2002, pg.126, #114. About Lichtenstein’s Mirror Series (taken from Corlett): Mirrors were an important subject in Lichtenstein’s paintings and prints of the early 1970s. From late 1969 to 1972 he painted over forty canvases depicting this subject. The first print was in 1970, with Twin Mirrors (cat. no.102) for the Guggenheim Museum. In 1972 he also produced Mirror (cat. No. 115) at Styria Studio, in addition to this Gemini G.E.L. series of nine prints. In the mid-seventies he took up the subject in sculpture, and he returned to it in prints as recently 1990, with Mirror (cat. No 246). In addition, he has often explored the related theme of reflections, incorporating them in various paintings and in several print series: Reflections (1990; cat. Nos. 239 – 245), Interiors (1990, published 1991; cat. nos. 247 – 54), and Water Lilies (1992; cat. nos. 261 – 66). This Gemini group (catalog nos. 1-6 - 114) utilizes lithography, screenprint, line-cut, and embossing... In an interview with Lawrence Alloway, Lichtenstein noted: “You know, I am always impressed by how artificial things look – like descriptions of office furniture in newspapers. It is the most dry kind of drawing, as in the Mirrors. They really only look like mirrors if someone tells you they do. Only once you know that, they may be moved as far as possible from realism, but you want it to be taken for realism. It becomes as stylized as you can get away with, in an ordinary sense, not stylish.” As Jack Cowart has commented: “One would not actually stand in front of a Lichtenstein Mirror...
