About the Item

William Bertrum Sharp (1924-1984) served in the Armed Forces during World War II and is considered among the first artists to attend art school under the GI Bill. He studied (probably at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center) with Boardman Robinson, Edgar Britton, and Otis Dozier. In 1966 he had a one-artist show at the McNay Art Institute (now McNay Art Museum), San Antonio. The lithograph showing here, The Wedding, dated 1946, would have been made shortly after his discharge from the service. It's tempting to think it had personal significance. It is certainly made with extreme delicacy in a highly unusual drawing style. Somehow it's very intimate. It is signed, dated, titled, and numbered, in pencil, in the margin just below the image. It is from an edition of 10 impressions.
