Richard Merkin Figurative Prints
American, 1938-2009
Richard Merkin’s (1938 – September 5, 2009) work conjures up scenes that evoke the raucous spirit of the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s. In his witty, often eccentric illustrations, Merkin depicts movie stars, jazz musicians, sports heroes and literary impresarios co-mingling with more personal references. In his highly stylized approach to the figure, Merkin privileges color relationships, balance and juxtaposition over strictly literal descriptions of his subjects. And humor; there’s always humor.to

TAXI Hand Drawn Lithograph, Lady in Red, London Black Cab, British Humor
By Beryl Cook
Located in Union City, NJ
TAXI is a hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the well known and loved British artist and humorist, Beryl Cook(1926-2008). Printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. TAXI presents a satirical city street scene depicting a male businessman dressed in a beige pin stripe suit assisting a vivacious, curvy, curly haired "lady in red" into an iconic London "Black" cab. TAXI's amusing scene takes place in front of an intriguing backdrop of building construction complete with rubble and beams, where a nonchalant construction worker stands whistling by his steam shovel in the background as the spectacle unfolds. Seeing the facial expressions portrayed on the faces of fellow passengers and cab driver add to the viewer's amusement in this quintessential Beryl Cook image.
