Molly McKee
"Demi-God of Discontent, " Original Etching and Aquatint signed by Molly McKee

1998

About the Item

"Demi-God of Discontent" is an original etching and aquatint made with Chine Colle by Molly McKee. The artist signed the piece in the lower right, titled it lower center, and wrote the edition number (2/10) in the lower left. It depicts a few abstracted human figures in McKee's surreal and horror-inspired style. 11 3/4" x 9" art 24 7/8" x 17 1/2" frame This surreal etching was done by Wisconsin-based artist Molly McKee. She received her degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 1998. The creatures in this print are distorted to appear grotesque and off-putting. This, in turn, relates this piece to many done by Surrealist artists in the early 20th century. A series of prints by this artist were purchased by the David Barnett Gallery, some of which have been already sold to collectors.

"Mes Petites Amies, Les Deux Sœurs" signed by Jacques Villon
By Jacques Villon
Located in Milwaukee, WI
This is an original drypoint and aquatint artwork by Jacques Villon. The artist signed in pencil on the lower right. As well as signed in plate at the top right of the image. This is a wonderful artwork of different intaglio processes being brought together in a beautiful almost seamless harmony. The thin pencil like markings and hair detailing are made using the Drypoint printmaking method. Whilst the color details around the girls are made using the Aquatint etching method. Jacques Villon shows his skills as a printmaker with the way these pieces line up perfectly and with how clean the rest of the plate is around the girls.

In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...
