Théophile Alexandre Steinlen Portrait Prints
French, 1859-1923
Theophile Alexandre Steinlen was born in Lausanne in 1859. He was naturalized French in 1901. He was a painter, engraver, illustrator, poster artist and sculptor. Before settling in Paris, he made a detour to Mulhouse where one of his uncles placed him in the studio of one of the best lithographers of the time. He settled definitively in Montmartre in 1881. Willette introduced him to his companions of the Cabaret du Chat-Noir animated by Rodolphe Salis. He met Toulouse-Lautrec, Forain, Léandre, Debussy, Eric Satie, Verlaine, Alphonse Allais and Aristide Bruant. He took part in the performances of the famous cabaret's shadow theater with animal stories and, most often, sequences featuring cats, for which he has a particular affection. The felines will appear throughout his activity as "parentheses" in a tormented work. There is, in this torment, the expression of no personal problem but a painful compassion for the lives of the exploited and marginal beings. He painted and drew idylls, balls and bastrings, workers, kids and gosselin, the poor, the little workers, girls and marlous. He sometimes made posters. In the most successful of them (« Le lait pur de la Vingeanne » et le « Fer Bravais ») he imposed, relevant or not, the presence of cats.
In 1901, Steinlen worked for L'Assiette au beurre , the most virulent satirical newspaper ever published and takes readily to target the institutions of the 3rd Republic.
His works are found in numerous Public Collections, such as Petit Palais in Geneva, Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.(Biography provided by Fremiot)

GOING TO CHURCH Signed Lithograph, Southern Landscape, African American Heritage
By William Tolliver
Located in Union City, NJ
GOING TO CHURCH was the very first limited edition print created by the self-taught African American artist William Tolliver (b.1951-2000) in 1987. GOING TO CHURCH is an original hand drawn lithograph (not a photo reproduction or digital print) printed on archival printmaking paper 100% acid free, using hand lithography techniques.
William Tolliver 's recognizable artistic style freely combines the colors of Chagall with the solid compositional principles of Cezanne and the mood and forms reminiscent of Modigliani and Picasso. GOING TO CHURCH depicts a Southern Landscape with a group of black country folk - three females clothed in long dresses, and two youths wearing blue jeans, all walking on their way to religious services. The black textured drawing background defines the composition's frame and outlines the rural landscape, trees, and sky with the procession of human figures in the foreground; a rainbow of multicolors creating a vibrant, almost stained-glass visual effect .
GOING TO CHURCH is an impressive large horizontal landscape...
