About the Item

This is an artist's proof (xv/xv) of an early telephone that is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil Schkolnyk was born in Paris, France in 1953 and currently resides in Nantes. He studied drawing and etching at the Beaux Art School in Nantes, France, and later studied with Professor Guimezanes – learning the details of the mezzotint technique. Schkolnyk is a master of three-color mezzotint prints. He creates three different mezzotint plates and then prints each one using a primary color. These transparent colors interact with each other creating a full spectrum of colors from white to bright red and velvet black. Whether the impression is printed in one color or multi-colors the final product is amazingly rich. Laurent Schkolnyk has had single-artist exhibitions in Paris, France; Tokyo, Japan; San Francisco, CA; & Seattle, WA. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions in France, the United States, and Asia.

With the publication of her book, The Mezzotint: History and Technique, published by Abrams, 1990 and 1996, Carol added author and teacher to her credits.
