About the Item

Louise Ibels (1891-1965) 'Théâtre Antique à Arles' Etching and aquatint Signed and titled in pencil to margin 3rd state proof Approx. 39 x 25cm (plate) A French artist known for her charming etchings, here she captures the romance of the Roman Theatre in Arles. Built at the time of Augustus (27BC-14AD) it had seating for 8,000 across thirty-three tiers of steps. During the early Middle Ages it was plundered for its stone to build the town walls. These days the only part of the rear wall of the stage that survives are the two columns depicted in the print. Re-emphasised by the presence of their shadow, the rest of the view disappears softly into the distant background.

Florence Ponte Vecchio etching by Valerie Thornton
Located in London, GB
To see more, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Valerie Thornton (1931 - 1991) Ponte Vecchio, Florence (1972) Etching and aquatint 33 x 20 cm Numbered 1/60 lower left, titled below, and signed and dated lower right, all in pencil. Here, Thornton muses on the dramatic differences in tone and texture between the water of the River Arno, the smooth paleness of the Ponte Vecchio, and the dark terracotta of the city's roofs. Her work is deeply concerned with material, and many of her etchings focus on eroded stone, emotive landscapes, and weathered architecture. Valerie Thornton was a British etcher and printmaker. She was born in London, but was evacuated to Canada with her two brothers during World War II. She returned to London in 1944 and studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in 1949. From 1950 to 1953 Thornton studied under P.F. Millard at the Regent Street Polytechnic, then spent eight months at Atelier 17 in Paris. In the early 1960s, she moved to New York and worked at Pratt Graphic Art Center. In 1955, she succeeded Howard Hodgkin as assistant art teacher at Charterhouse School and in 1965 she became a founding member of the Print Makers Council. In 1970 she became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painters-Etchers and Engravers. Thornton was a member of The Regent Street Group (a group of nine artists who studied together at the Regent Street Polytechnic in the early 1950s). The group also included Susan Horsfield, Renate Meyer, Michael...
