About the Item
An evocative abstracted mezzotint with etched detail by prolific New Zealand artist, muralist and printmaker John Drawbridge MBE. Drawbridge often creates hazy impressions of landscapes and interiors. Both his prints and larger paintings have a disorientating and alienating quality. Known for his large scale murals, his impressive sensitivity to texture and form translates brilliantly into printmaking. These soft forms contrast with a bold colour palette to create a captivating and dreamlike vision of everyday life.
Signed, dated and editioned in pencil below the plate line.
On wove.

- Landscape with Window and ChairBy Robert KipnissLocated in Fairlawn, OHLandscape with Window and Chair Mezzotint on wove paper, 2000 Signed in pencil lower right (see photo) Edition: 150 (93/150) (see photo) Special Presentation Print for the Print Club of Albany, 2000 Condition: Mint Image/Plate size: 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches Sheet size: 7 x 5 1/2 inches From the Print Club of Albany: "Kipniss states that it is part of his working process to explore an image in pencil, in paint and in print. As the image evolves, its ramifications lead to hints of the next work. This image is well-suited for this medium since in mezzotint the artist literally draws the light as he burnishes the tiny rocked copper pinholes that trap the ink and become the image." From 1968 into 1990, Kipniss created lithographs that followed the style and content of his paintings, whether generally or specifically. A commission from a print publisher in 1968 for five editions of lithographs precipitated his adoption of lithography as a medium. Kipniss's first lithographs were done in black and white, but by 1970 he was also working in color. He taught himself "to lay in the most delicately light silvery tones on the surface of the limestone by maintaining an exceptionally sharp point on the lithographic pencil and drawing with no pressure other than the weight of the pencil itself." He built up a support so that his hand and wrist could "dangle" over the stone. By 1990 Kipniss had completed about 450 editions of lithographs, usually of 90 to 250 impressions, at the Burr Miller studio in Manhattan. He worked from 1969 with master printer Burr Miller and then with Steve and Terry, his sons.
