AFTERNOON REHEARSAL Signed Lithograph, Ballet Dancers, Tutu Tulle Skirt, Beige

1995

About the Item

AFTERNOON REHEARSAL is an original hand drawn lithograph(not a photo reproduction or digital print) by Douglas Hofmann printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. AFTERNOON REHEARSAL depicts an intimate interior scene staged with two ballet dancers at ease dressed in their delicate tutu tulle skirts. AFTERNOON REHEARSAL is a highly detailed ballet portrait printed in a neutral color palette comprised of warm browns, light lavender, light golden cream, peach beige, grays, and touches of brownish black. Hofmann creates a beautiful aura of light and atmosphere influenced by great Baroque paintings. Here he gives careful attention to fine detail, the sheer tulle of the ballet dancers skirts, light filtering through the window with superbly shaded beige and lavender colors, mirrored wall reflecting their graceful poses. In his well loved ballet paintings he has tried to achieve the look of Degas, a favorite master of his. Print size - 27 x 36.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Doug Hofmann Edition size - 100, plus proofs Year published - 1995 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co. Artist statement - “You can see the manipulation of the paint and the brush strokes. I don't want to paint everyday scenes. I'm a dreamer. I want to express a romantic feeling in my work. This appeals to me as a form of self-expression in today's world of structured reality”.

  • A Pair of Framed 19th Century Colored Lithographs of Tudor Scenes by Joseph Nash
    By Joseph Nash
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This is a pair of framed 19th century tinted lithographs with hand-coloring entitled "Gallery Over the Hall, Knowle, Kent" and "Terrace Bramshill, Hants" by Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789-1850) after drawings by Joseph Nash (1809-1878), from "Mansions of England in the Olden Time", published in London in 1839-1849. Nash's publication consists of a series of views of Tudor domestic architecture, which Nash said depicted "the most characteristic features of the domestic architecture of the Tudor Age, and also illustrating the costumes, habits, and recreations of our ancestors." The scenes of the aristocratic ladies and gentlemen (including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I), who are depicted inhabiting the rooms of these great houses, were taken directly from the portraits on the walls. Charles Joseph Hullmandel, was involved in the creation of these lithographs. He was a famous British lithographer, who invented the "lithotint" process, which he named and patented in 1840. This technique, allowing for greater nuance and value gradation than pure lithography, was an ideal means of expression for Nash's historically rich and picturesque depictions of Tudor mansions and their inhabitants. Hullmandel is also remembered for creating many lithographs from the paintings by J. M. W. Turner. The "Gallery Over the Hall" depicts a great hall with children playing with skittles (wooden pins resembling bowling pins), a doll and what looks to be a St Charles spaniel, while a lady in Tudor attire watches over them next to a massive stone fireplace. Adults are watching from in the distance while a man bows...
