About the Item

Hand-engraved linocut ? Paper size: 15.5" x 20" / 39 cm x 50 cm ? Image size: 11.7" x 16.5" / 29.7 x 42 cm ? Paper: off white Hahnemühle 300g ? Edition of 10 prints, signed and numbered, hand-printed on a press ? Part of the Paris Café series This linocut is made from the artist's original sketch inspired by the Paris bookstore and café Shakespeare and Company, located on the Seine across from Notre Dame Cathedral. Opened in 1951 by the American George Whitman, his bookstore is a tribute to Sylvia Beach’s original 1920s shop frequented by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and James Baldwin, among others. “I created this bookstore like a man would write a novel, building each room like a chapter, and I like people to open the door the way they open a book, a book that leads into a magic world in their imaginations.” —George Whitman To make her art prints, the original sketch is transfered onto a block of lino which is cut out with special gouges. She hand pulls each print on a press, giving it a slightly embossed texture. Each linocut, printed one at a time, is a unique and original piece of art. Slight differences in each print are inherent in the process. The hand-painted edition is limited to 10 prints. After pulling the print on my press, Cynthia Bevan hand paints in oils, making each print a unique and original piece of art. The print is sold unmounted and unframed but is shown here in a standard 40 cm x 50 cm frame. Ships from France in a heavy-duty cardboard art tube using a tracked postal service. Copyright remains with the artist.
