About the Item
PAUL LANDACRE (1883 – 1963)
GRASSS FIRE, 1928 (Wien 53)
Wood engraving on tissue thin Japanese paper, signed in pencil and titled with full margins. Thee are only 20 signed, titled, and numbered impressions printed by the artist... Jake Wien in his extensively researched Landacre catalog raisonne, and in other comments indicates that although this example is numbered 25/100 (not completed). “Landacre skipped numbers when he numbered his prints. In other words, he may start at "5", he may skip numbers "8" through "11”.
Image 6 x 7 ¼ in, sheet 9 x 12 in. It was later part of Landacre’s “California Hills” book, published in 1931. In good condition. 4 bits of original hinges on recto.
Wien continues “This signed print is extremely rare. Several are in museum collections, and I discuss in the introduction to the catalogue raisonne how it is likely that many of the impressions have not survived through the years because of the extremely delicate paper he used in 1928 for many prints: tissue-thin white Japanese wove paper. Landacre stopped using this paper because, as I surmise, he likely found the impressions too vulnerable to be sent out for exhibition. Tearing was a common symptom…. Plus, it is extremely inventive, innovative--truly modernist in style”
Comes with the original mat with Landacre’s address on the verso, “Paul Landacre, 1916 Walcott Way, Los Angeles, California” Provenance: From the Distinguished Collection of Delmer and Mary Lou Daves.
