About the Item

This lithograph by artist Ron Adams depicts the renowned printer Robert Blackburn in his workshop in NYC. Blackburn was involved with every major player of the Harlem Renaissance along with most of the NYC printmaking scene in the mid-20th century. He was friends with James Baldwin and Langston Hughes, produced work with and alongside Romare Bearden, Will Barnet, Jacob Lawrence, Stanley William Hayter, Elizabeth Catlett, Benny Andrews, Leonora Carrington, Faith Ringgold, Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, and more. His workshop provided generous opportunities for minority and third-world students, turning into a cooperative in later years that sponsored the work of hundreds of artists. This print honors the legacy of that practice and is signed and numbered by Ron Adams in pencil.

"Victoria" original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present print, "Victoria," is the most iconic example of the printmaking of Malvin Marr Albright, called Zsissly. The composition for the image comes from Albright's painting from about 1935, done while he was studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. We can see clearly in the image how he possesses the same skill for unsettling, magic realist images as his more famous twin brother Ivan Le Lorraine: The lady Victoria sits at a dining room table, surrounded by luxurious still-life objects. All the textures and surfaces of the image express a horror vacui as seen in his painted works, such as "The Trail of Time is Dust" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The door in this print recalls one of the more famous works by his brother, "That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door)" at the Art Institute of Chicago. 1947, after ca. 1935 original painting 8 1/2 x 13 inches, image 12 x 16 inches, sheet 16 1/4 x 20 1/2 frame Signed in pencil, lower right Title in pencil, lower left Published by Associated American Artists Inc. Unnumbered from the edition of 250 A painter and sculptor, Malvin Albright was born in Chicago, one of twin sons of Adam Emory Albright, famous Chicago figure painter of juvenile subjects, who often used Malvin and his brother Ivan Le Lorraine as models. Malvin's middle name, Marr, was after Wisconsin artist Carl von Marr...
