Stan Washburn
Eve's Figs, by Stan Washburn

1975

About the Item

Medium: Etching Edition of 90 Year: 1975 ImageSize: 1.75 x 1.75 inches Signed, titled and numbered etching from the edition of 90. From the Expulsion series, Eve is shown naked in the garden contemplating the Fig plants around her. In individual prints, and his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek with. This is one of Washburn's largest prints, showing all types of animals co-existing peacefully in a bucolic landscape. Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works. A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.

Etching - Cotswolds, England
By Cuca Romley
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is beautiful piece of the Cotswolds, England. Image 10 x 16 in. on paper with about 1.5 in. all around Signed, titled and editioned Unframed Gallery curates a series of original etchings from respected European artist Cuca Romley. Ms Romley is in her late 80's and currently based in Spain. She was trained at The École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), a distinguished National School of Fine Arts in Paris, France. The artist won several noted awards for her art in her native Spain, and in Paris, France. She worked as an artist and also had a career in advertising, illustration and interior design, in Spain, France and New York. As an artist, she has had solo and group exhibitions first Paris, France, Monaco, Japan, Spain and the US. ETCHINGS Cuca Romley’s etchings of both famous and little places around the world are depicted with a remarkable attention to detail, a style that belies her sophisticated sense of line and color. These etchings capture a bygone era of a city in flux, and a snap shot of a classic image of a place. Each plate is etched with patience and a thoroughness reminiscence of the earlier days of engraving, in exquisite and fine detail. Romley creates her intricate design on the etching ground that covers the copper plate. After the acid has etched the lines into the copper plate she engraves the details into the plate with a buril until the image is completed. For each individual print a master printer must ink the plate and wipe the surface clean. The plate is placed on the bed of the press and the previously wet French Arches paper 100% cotton covering the plate to pass through the press, and that completes the printing process. After the printing ink has dried for a couple of days, the etching is ready for the hand coloring by the artist. There are often more than 30 colors in one of Romley’s images. Each print can take up to 6 hours to color; these colors impart a subtle transparent effect that compliments the delicacy of the line. Every etching in the limited edition is then signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. Limited pieces available. Image size specified. Exhibition (selection) 1933 Born in Madrid, SPAIN (age 81) 1952-55 Fashion Illustrator, SPAIN Prize - Galerias Preciado , Sindicato Nacional Textil, Madrid, SPAIN 2nd Prize - Salon Nacional de Dibujos de Alta Costura...
