About the Item

Lithograph with watercolor. 22 3/8 x 30 5/8. Edition 56 (plus 5 artist's proofs). A bright impression printed on the full sheet of Arches paper. Signed and numbered 4/56 in pencil. Housed in an archival 29 1/2 x 28-inch mat, awaiting your choice of presentation. Ann writes: "My work is based on specific scenes and impressions related to movies from the 1930s and 1940s. I use film characters and period settings as a point of departure and then reinterpret. Contemporary faces are added but without altering the spirit of a cinematic moment. In blending past and present images I try to create a sense of dejà vu or nostalgia without the sentimentality often associated with specific film stars. I am interested in individual personalities and in using crowded scenes of choreographed women. Images as social icons and attention to individual incident interest me. Depicting physical clumsiness alters the perception of each performer's physiognomy and brings it more to the 'real'. Gender is important, yet gesture and establishing a dramatic moment are paramount. A movie is never totally forgotten. Memories from films can be channels, metaphor and private reverie through which an artist can address the human condition."

"And his interest in London has not been restricted to the Thames. Seeing the beautiful, where other men might be discouraged by dullness, he has taken his subject, now in the little cheap shop opening a low window upon the street, now in the forgotten church hidden away in a lonely square. And Chelsea Rags, the Shops of Chelsea, the Drury Lane, as well as The Butcher's Dog, are impressions of vague Rembrandtesque interiors where figures, grim or graceful, peer from out deep shadows— shops as lovely in his prints as the halls of a Veronese, or the palaces of a Claude."

Helen Hyde, "The Color Lure of Mexico", The International Studio, November 1913. Helen Hyde (1868-1919), printmaker and illustrator, was born in Lima, New York, but spent a cultured childhood in Oakland, California.
