About the Item
William P. Hicks has drawn everything about the circus that will fit in the plate. The main figure is an aerial act with a woman balancing on rope held by a figure on the floor. There are bears on bicycles and skates, dancing clowns in funny clothes, an elephant, and a tightrope walker with a pole.
The medium is etching of course, but there's also lots of use of aquatint. It is signed and titled in pencil. From an edition of 25 made for the NYC. There's a not very official label on the reverse.

By Jack Henderson
Located in New York, NY

Jack Henderson (1931-1998) taught at the Art Students League for many years and had a studio in at 30 East 14th Street, New York City. In that building were many other artists including Henderson's teacher and long-time collaborator, Edward Laning. A Kansas City native, Henderson was the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome. He continued the Miller/Laning tradition of travel to Italy to study the masters of the Renaissance and the goal of fine figure painting as the ultimate artistic achievement. A version of his monumental triptych, New York in Ruin, 1967, is in the collection of the New York Landmarks Commission. Work by Jack Henderson was shown at the Susan Teller Gallery...
