About the Item

THE ESCORTING OF RUTH by the acclaimed artist JONATHAN GREEN is a vibrantly colored limited edition lithograph printed using hand lithography techniques(not a photo reproduction or digital print) from hand drawn lithographic plates on archival Arches printmaking paper, 100% acid free. THE ESCORTING OF RUTH depicts three women in a red boat being escorted down the river by two young boatmen; the woman in the white dress is pregnant, on her way to the midwife. THE ESCORTING OF RUTH with its vivid shades of cobalt blue, red, yellow, green, brown, gray, white and black create an eye-catching Lowcountry South Carolina water landscape scene portraying one story from the customs and traditions of the Gullah Geechee people's rich cultural heritage. Print size - 27 x 36 in., unframed, full bleed image, no margins, excellent condition, signed in white pencil by Jonathan Green Edition size - 250 Year - 1993 Printed at JK Fine Art Editions Co. NYC in 1993 by master printers Joseph Kleineman & Maureen Turci Painter and printmaker Jonathan Green is considered one of the most important contemporary painters of the Southern experience. The artwork of Green is heavily influenced by his Gullah heritage with vividly colored paintings and prints documenting everyday chores, in addition to celebrating Gullah life’s rites of passage. By returning his art to his childhood upbringing, Green has created an autobiographical body of work in addition to documenting a vanishing way of life. Jonathan Green's artwork has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, and is included in the permanent collections of several major museums. Artist statement - "I am drawn to rural environments that afford a sense of space and silence and an opportunity to unobtrusively observe daily functions of others as we all pursue life's mission of work, love and belonging.… It is the small, but critical tasks of daily life that I find most stimulating and reflective of the quality of essential, personal, community, and social values."
