Sandra Sweeney
'Self Portrait 1974' original etching signed by Sandra Sweeney

1974

About the Item

Following in line with artists before her, like Rembrandt and van Gogh, Sandra Sweeny here presents a self portrait. The image is both direct and subtle not only in its handling of materials, but also in the frank gaze of the artist. She looks directly at the viewer, confronting them with an expressionless, studying face. This portrait, executed as an etching, is built up of hatchmarks, defining the volume of the artist's face and hair. The close cropping of the image, as well as her large eyes, make the portrait even more personal and striking. 14 x 10.63 inches, artwork 20.88 x 17.88 inches, frame 18 x 15 inches, sheet 11.75 x 9 inches, plate Signed and dated in pencil, lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting and housed in a gold finish wood moulding. Though she and her family spent a few years in Oregon, Sandy was based in Milwaukee, WI. Along with being a talented artist, she was a superb framer and worked as the head framer for the David Barnett Gallery in Milwaukee, WI.

    By Jacques Villon
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    This is an original drypoint and aquatint artwork by Jacques Villon. The artist signed in pencil on the lower right. As well as signed in plate at the top right of the image. This is a wonderful artwork of different intaglio processes being brought together in a beautiful almost seamless harmony. The thin pencil like markings and hair detailing are made using the Drypoint printmaking method. Whilst the color details around the girls are made using the Aquatint etching method.

In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...
