Mickey Myers
'The Lamoille Project #63' original monoprint signed by Mickey Myers

2010

About the Item

Mickey Myers is perhaps best known for her Pop art designs from the 1970s and '80s, where she would make vibrant compositions of Crayola crayons. In her later career, however, she has largely moved to painterly landscape images, often as monoprints, such as in the present example. Many of these prints show views from her home in Vermont, and so this example falls in line with the long tradition of American landscape painting that began with the Hudson River School in the mid-nineteenth century. This particular example was produced for the Madison Print Club in 2010. Original monoprint with pastel 15 x 15 inches, artwork 29.5 x 29.5 inches, frame Titled 'Lamoille #63' in pencil, lower left Edition 1/1 in pencil, lower center Signed and dated in pencil, lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting with a 1/4-inch grey paper bevel, Museum Glass, and housed in a modern profile gilt silver moulding. Mickey Myers was born and raised in Hollywood, California, where she studied art with famed silkscreen artist, Corita Kent. She began her career as an artist in Boston in the mid-1960's, managing an art gallery, running a graphic design business, and creating limited edition silkscreen prints and posters which were exhibited nationally for two decades. Boston Magazine even named her one of the city's most influential women. In the late 1980's, Myers returned to Los Angeles, long enough to produce a documentary for public television, and realize she belonged back in New England. Since 1991, Myers has lived in Vermont, until recently in a 210 year old farmhouse she considered the most beautiful place on earth. Myers began her work in pastel in direct response to the view from her living room window in Hyde Park, Vermont. Her pastels have been the subject of eight major exhibits: Dances with Bougainvilla (1992), The View From My Window (1996), Nuages (Clouds) (1996), Bouquet du Crand Ciel (Bouquet from the Great Sky) (1997), Travels with My Sister 1998), Le Soleil (1999), Looking West (2002), and Sunday Paintings (2004). In 2003, Myers moved to Johnson, Vermont, to a home originally built in 1914 for the artist Georgia Balch, and until recently occupied by staff members from Vermont Studio Center. In fact, the house has never been without an artist in residence! Myers notes that her work always shifts when she moves, and reports that from the first day in this new studio, unexpected developments began to take place in her work. For example, she introduced undercoatings of acrylic paint, over which she drew in pastel. She sees a dramatic change in her sense of space on the page, and notes an increasingly abstract perspective in her work. No matter where she is, Mickey Myers is passionately involved in her community and in the creation and exhibition of art: her own, that of her students, and of her friends and fellow artists. With Monet, she holds this thought, "Color is my day long obsession, joy and torment." [Biography via the artist's website.}

    By David Barnett
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    ‘Celebration’ is an artist’s proof giclée print, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. This piece is a part of Barnett’s ‘Morph Dog Series,’ so named for his use of a “morph dog”—a dog-shaped foam sculpture that transforms into a cube when turned inside out—to paint. Against a muted horizon, multicolored rings ignite the sky like fireworks as confetti cascades to the bottom of the frame; rows of morph dogs further ornament the display in red and blue. Giclée print on watercolor paper AP I/XXV 48 x 36 in, print 57.5 x 46.75 in, frame Signed and dated in lower right "AP I/XXV" in lower left Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting and housed in a gold finish wood moulding.

In 1966, he opened his first gallery in a converted basement apartment at Wisconsin Avenue and 21st Street. In 1985 David moved his gallery from Wisconsin Avenue into the Old Button Mansion on State Street and has been active ever since. David’s talents for recognizing undervalued artists and for meeting the needs of art lovers, art collectors and artists have created a vibrant, flourishing gallery and collection of over 6,000 works of art.

  • 'Field' original abstract linocut in black by Wisconsin artist Schomer Lichtner
    By Schomer Lichtner
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    'Field' is an original linocut by Wisconsin-based artist Schomer Lichtner. The composition presents fields of flowers, trees and grasses below a cloudy sky, but rendered with Lichtner's quintessential abstract sensibilities. This print is one from a series that each depict abstracted subjects in black silhouette, taking pleasure in the materiality of the linocut technique. The free forms of the plants resemble the lyrical mid-century works of the French artist Henri Matisse, which combined with these material concerns demonstrate Lichter's modern sensibilities. The prints from this series are unusual because of how below the image, Lichtner also includes his Chinese seal and a linocut remarque of a cow, each of which act as an additional signature of the artist on the artwork. Linocut in black and red on Permalife white wove paper 4.5 x 6 inches, image 11.5 x 8.75 inches, sheet 16.5 x 13.63 inches, frame Signed in pencil, below image, lower right. Edition 1/100 in pencil, below image, lower left. Chinese signature stamp in red, below image, lower right. Remaque of a cow in red, below image, lower right. Permalife watermark to paper. Framed to conservation standards in a shadow-box style mounting, using 100 percent rag matting, museum glass, and housed in a silver-finish wood moulding. Overall excellent condition with no creases or discoloration. Milwaukee artist Schomer Lichtner was well known for his whimsical cows and ballerinas and abstract imagery. He and his late wife Ruth Grotenrath, both well-known Wisconsin artists, began their prolific careers as muralists for WPA projects, primarily post offices. Lichtner also painted murals for industry and private clients. Schomer was a printmaker and produced block prints, lithographs, and serigraph prints. His casein (paint made from dairy products) and acrylic paintings are of the rural Wisconsin landscape and farm animals. He became interested in cows when he and Ruth spent summers near Holy Hill in Washington County. According to David Gordon, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Schomer Lichtner had a tremendous joie de vivre and expressed it in his art. Schomer Lichtner was nationally known for his whimsical paintings and sculptures of black- and white-patterned Holstein cows...
