About the Item
BRUSSEL-SMITH SELF PORTRAIT is an original hand drawn stone lithograph by the American artist Bernard Brussel-Smith, hand printed by Master printer Joseph Kleineman, JK Fine Art Editions Co. NYC in 1978. BRUSSEL-SMITH SELF PORTRAIT was hand proofed and printed from hand drawn lithography stones in black and tan colored ink on Buff color ARCHES paper 100% acid free. BRUSSEL-SMITH SELF PORTRAIT depicts a realistic rendering of the artist himself as a bearded man; a meticulously drawn portrait with fine facial details, full beard, smoking pipe, head shading contours, and an assemblage of vintage photo snapshots from his lifetime memories all beautifully executed using the sublime alchemy of traditional lithographic printmaking by the master artist Bernard Brussel-Smith. The closeup photograph shows the printed fine textures achieved from the lithography stone's grained suface. Upon close inspection, the reverse side of the paper bears the pinhole registration marks for aligning the drawings when printed. Hand lithography is a truly a printmaking technique of fine craftsmanship!
Print size - 22 x 17.75 inches, unframed, plate signed Printers Proof from the master printer's private collection, very good condition, fine hand printed impression
