Howard Kanovitz Portrait Prints
American, 1929-2009
Howard Kanovitz was a pioneering painter in the Photorealist and Hyperrealist Movements, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in response to the abstract art movement.
Howard Kanovitz, born in Fall River, Massachusetts, began painting in 1949, after an early career as a jazz trombonist. He studied at The Rhode Island School of Design and at The Art Students League in Woodstock with Yasu Kunyyoshi, before moving to New York City and apprenticing with Franz Kline.(Biography provided by Brightcolors)

This impressive, playful color lithograph by the photo/hyper realist pioneer and beloved teacher Howard Kanovitz is a prime example of Kanovitz shift to using pastels starting in the 1970s "with the goal of creating work as fully realized as any painting". Hand signed by the artist on the recto and verso (front and back). On the back of this work is an original heart drawing with a lovely inscription that reads as follows:
For Earle & Camilla
Love Howard
Christmas 1981

"Ma première lithographie date de 1954. Elle représente un enfant en haillons portant deux seaux d'eau, d'après un croquis rapporté de Cordoue lors de mon voyage en Espagne en 1952. Je l'exécutai sur pierre, au pinceau et à l'encre lithographique. Je fus déçu du résultat et n'en tirai qu'un essai et une épreuve.
Quatre ans plus tard, je réalisai une dizaine de nouvelles lithographies, toujours sur pierre, la plupart en noir.
Au lieu d'employer l'encre et le crayon lithographiques, j'utilisai l'encre zincographique plus fluide me permettant de travailler à la plume ou avec de fins pinceaux de martre. Le tirage fut très satisfaisant. au grand étonnement du Père Guillard, lithographe.
Jusqu'alors l'encre zincographique ne servait qu'à la zincographie. Actuellement elle est d'un usage courant puisque pratiquement toutes les lithographies se font sur zinc et non plus sur pierre, ce qui facilite la manipulation. Par ailleurs, le zinc offre autant de possibilités que la pierre.
En 1959, La Guilde de la Gravure me demanda une édition en couleur. Je choisis une nature morte aux chardons, tirée à 220 exemplaires.
Par la suite, les tirages varièrent de 10 à 160 épreuves.
Mes lithographies en couleur étaient assez proches de mes toiles. A partir de 1968, période de La Danse, je supprimai petit à petit le clair-obscur et la matière pour donner plus de légèreté et de transparence.
Les lithographies postérieures à 1970 sont dessinées en noir sur un fond coloré souvent volontairement arbitraire, donnant l'aspect d'un dessin rehaussé.
La couleur n'est pas intégrée au dessin mais joue un rôle d'accompagnement du trait qui est lui-même une arabesque écrite.
Quand le noir...
