John E. BillmyerJohn E. Billmyer, Flower Piece, WPA wood engraving1936-39
1936-39
About the Item
'Flower Piece' shows the artist, John Billmyer, to be a highly accomplished wood engraver. There are endless patterns and created details -- all executed flawlessly. Mostly made up of pansies (viola tricolor) or 'Johnnie-jump-ups,' (Also Jack-in-the-Pulpits?, Queen Anne's Lace and maybe stock?), and the composition calls out spring or very early summer.
This print is signed and titled in pencil. It was published in an edition of 25 by the NYC-WPA, and has a stamp that reads 'Federal Art Project No. 1.'
Although this was made on the NYC Project, Billmyer is mostly associated with Denver, where he was raised and taught for many years.

"Victoria" original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present print, "Victoria," is the most iconic example of the printmaking of Malvin Marr Albright, called Zsissly. The composition for the image comes from Albright's painting from about 1935, done while he was studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. We can see clearly in the image how he possesses the same skill for unsettling, magic realist images as his more famous twin brother Ivan Le Lorraine: The lady Victoria sits at a dining room table, surrounded by luxurious still-life objects. All the textures and surfaces of the image express a horror vacui as seen in his painted works, such as "The Trail of Time is Dust" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The door in this print recalls one of the more famous works by his brother, "That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door)" at the Art Institute of Chicago.

'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' original lithograph signed by "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Lobsterman's Wharf, Maine' is an original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright. While Malvin Marr – along with his better-known identical twin Ivan Albright – was known for his meticulous and unsettling magic realist compositions, he and his brother were also prolific in capturing landscapes of the coast of Maine where the two spent several consecutive summers away from Chicago over their lives. Sometimes these Maine landscapes and views would be painterly and seemingly antithetical to the careful realism of his other work; but in this example, however, the wharf is treated with the same macabre decay as his human subjects. In the composition, the shack...
