Christine Ravaux
Branche Horizontale (horizontal branch lying on patterns of grass and leaves)

1995

About the Item

Shades of blacks and grays on a fallen branch create a pleasing pattern contrasted with grasses and ferns that lie beneath. Christine Ravaux is a Belgian artist who uses nature in much of her work which is both hyper-realistic and abstract in pattern. This mezzotint is created in a limited edition of only 30 impressions. Christine Ravaux was born in Charleroi in 1961. She studied printmaking at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and the Etterbeek Academy of Arts where she learned more specifically the black way in the workshops of Mauritius Pasternak and Anne Dykmans. She received the Prix du Hainaut in 1994 and the prize of the 1997 annual competition in artistic creation of the Royal Academy of Letters, Sciences and Beaux-Arts of Belgium. Ravaux's mezzotints mirror her surroundings. She has portrayed the black hills that dot the landscape of the Belgian mining city in which she lives and has captured the shadows and shapes created by the grasses and trees of her own backyard. Her close-up look at the ordinary things around her are just as effective when viewed as abstract compositions of form and light. Her work was awarded the first prize at IBIZAGRAFIC ’92, the prestigious Spanish Biennial which prompted a solo exhibition of her mezzotints and the publication of a monograph. In 1994, Ravaux was selected for inclusion in Intergafia ’94 – World Award Winners Gallery in Katowice, Poland.

  • Mornings with Judd (Second state)
    By Peter Milton
    Located in Middletown, NY
    Lift ground and hard ground etching and engraving on Murillo white wove paper, 18 x 24 inches (455 x 608 mm), full margins. Signed, dated, titled and numbered 60/100 in pencil, lower margin. Printed and published by the artist. In very good condition with minor age tone and scattered light surface soiling on the verso. Framed handsomely in an original Kulicke welded aluminum frame with the embossed maker's mark. [Milton 61]. Milton revisited this image in 1974 during an experiment to explore collage and the process of contact printing a high resolution photo-transparency directly onto a copper plate. He printed a small detail transparency of Mornings with Judd onto the existing plate, alongside it's larger self, and broke through to a new photo-resist approach, which Milton described as "piquant and irresistible," in his essays appearing in Robert Flynn...
