About the Item

Luke Gilliam has a highly unusual woodcut technique. Here it is used to contain a fruit plate in an impressionistically-inspired environment made up of earth tones. It's a fascinating composition of the most basic of art subjects -- the still life! The printing goes just to the edge of the sheet so the image size, 14 x 14 1/2 inches, is also the sheet size. There are traces of foxing. Sometimes they are hard to see as they echo the colors of the inks, but there are close-ups -- especially to show the edges of the image. It is signed, titled, and numbered,' in pencil. The edition indicated is 50. Perhaps that is a 'proposed' edition as I've never seen another impression of this subject. In all likelihood it is scarce as is most of his work.
