By Stan Washburn 1
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Signed, titled and numbered etching from the edition of 100. In individual prints, and his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek wit. This image of Eve being tempted by the serpent is from his series "The Expulsion".
Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works.
A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.
