Molly McKee
"Hinting (With Chine Colle), " Etching & Aquatint signed by Molly McKee

1998

About the Item

"Hinting" 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. 12" x 8 7/8" 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.

    By Jacques Villon
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    "Manege rue Caulaincourt ou Le Petit Manege Aux Chevaux De Bois" is an original etching and aquatint signed by Jacques Villon. The artist signed the piece in the lower right. This is an artist proof in brown & black on arches paper. This piece depicts a number of figures on a horse-drawn carousel going through the street. 21 7/8" x 28 1/2" art 29 1/4" x 33 1/2" frame Jacques Villon (French, 1875 - 1963) French painter, printmaker and illustrator. The oldest of three brothers who became major 20th-century artists, including Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Marcel Duchamp, he learnt engraving at the age of 16 from his maternal grandfather, Emile-Frédéric Nicolle (1830-94), a ship-broker who was also a much appreciated amateur artist. 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; soon afterwards this new surname was combined with the family name by Raymond. Marcel Duchamp and their sister Suzanne Duchamp...

  • "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.

  • Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977
    By Francis Bacon
    Located in London, GB
    FRANCIS BACON 1909-1992 Dublin 1909-1992 Madrid (Irish/British) Title: Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977, 1981 Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Etching and Aquatint in Colours on Wove Paper Paper size: 64.8 x 50 cm. / 25.5 x 19.7 in. Image size: 38.8 x 29.5 cm. / 19.3 x 11.5 in. Additional Information: This etching and aquatint in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Francis Bacon" in the lower right margin. It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 99, in the lower left margin. The work was printed in a limited edition of 99 signed and numbered impressions with an additional 15 Hors Commerce [out of trade] impressions and 15 artist’s proofs. It was printed and published by Polígrafa, Barcelona in 1981. It is based on the painting of the same title. Note: Tryptic 1974-1977 is one of Bacon's finest triptychs. It was painted by Bacon between May and June 1974 and was made in response to the tragic death of his lover George Dyer in 1971. It was the last work the artist made before a major retrospective of his work held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1974. The exhibition formed the culmination of this important survey of Bacon's career from the late 1960s onwards and was immediately recognised as both a major landmark and also perhaps a turning point in Bacon's career. From 1971, Francis Bacon had been preoccupied with Dyer and the tragic manner of his suicide. Triptych 1974-77 also borrows several elements from the three earlier so-called 'Black' triptychs (In memory of George Dyer, 1971, Triptych August 1972 and Triptych May-June 1973). In each of these great three-panel paintings, the figure of Dyer is presented on the threshold of entering a dark void, either in the form of his hotel room, or silhouetted against a sequence of black rectangles. At the bottom of this central panel on a pale blue, purple and black curved continuation of this arena-like circle, there originally appeared a bizarre prone and bespectacled slug-like figure. Based on one of Edward Muybridge...
