About the Item

FRANCESCO CLEMENTE b. 1952 Naples 1952 (Italian) Title: Morning, 1981/82 Technique: Original Hand Signed, Dated, Titled and Inscribed Woodcut in Colours on Japan Paper Paper size: 42.5 x 57 cm. / 16.7 x 22.4 in. Image size: 36 x 51 cm. / 14.2 x 20 in. Additional Information: This original woodcut in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist "F. Clemente" at the lower right margin. It is dated “81” [1981] next to the signature. It is also hand inscribed in pencil “T.P.”, at the lower left margin. Our impression is one of six trial proofs aside from the standard edition of 100, there were also 10 artist’s proofs. It was printed by Tadashi Toda, Shi-un-do Print Shop, Kyoto in 1981 and published by Crown Point Press, San Francisco in 1982. Other impressions of this work are included in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Note: Francesco Clemente (born 1952) is one of a group of Italian artists who emerged in the late 1970s as part of a European-wide revival of Neo-Expressionist figurative painting, but Clemente was also much influenced by historical Italian painting and by the art of India, a country where he has spent much of his life. His watercolour drawings have an exceptional luminosity. In this print he and his Japanese printers created a paradoxical, virtuoso piece of work that looks exactly like a watercolour but is in fact a woodcut. Condition: Very good condition. The paper bears a printer’s crease originating in the printing process at the left margin. Remannts of hinging in the upper corners, verso.

  • 'The Bather' — 1930s American Modernism
    By Rockwell Kent
    Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
    Rockwell Kent, 'The Bather', wood engraving, 1931, edition 120, Burne Jones 63. Signed in pencil. A brilliant, black impression, on cream, wove Japan paper; the full sheet with margins (2 1/2 to 3 1/4 inches); slight skinning at the top sheet edge, verso, otherwise in excellent condition. Image size 5 3/8 x 7 7/8 inches (137 x 200 mm); sheet size 11 1/8 x 14 1/2 inches (283 x 368 mm). Archivally matted to museum standards, unframed. Impressions of this work are held in the following public collections: Burne Jones Collection, IL; Chegodaev Collection, Moscow; Kent Collection, NY; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Princeton University Library, NJ; Pushkin Museum, Moscow; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Spector Collection, NY. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), though best known as a painter, graphic artist, and illustrator, pursued many careers throughout his life, including architect, carpenter, explorer, writer, dairy farmer, and political activist. Born in Tarrytown, New York, Kent was interested in art from a young age. These ambitions were encouraged by his aunt Jo Holgate, an accomplished ceramicist. Jo came to live with the family after Kent’s father passed away in 1887 and took him to Europe as a teenager, undoubtedly kindling his interest in exploring the world. Kent attended the Horace Mann School in New York City, where he excelled at mechanical drawing. His family’s financial circumstances prevented him from pursuing a career in the fine arts; however, after graduating from Horace Mann in 1900, Kent decided to study architecture at Columbia University. Before matriculating at Columbia, Kent spent the first of three consecutive summers studying painting at William Merritt Chase’s art school in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island. There he found a community of mentors and fellow students who encouraged him to pursue his interest in art. At the end of Kent’s third summer at Shinnecock, Chase offered him a full scholarship to the New York School of Art, where he was a teacher. Kent began taking night classes at the art school in addition to his architecture studies but soon left Columbia to study painting full-time. In addition to Chase, Kent took classes with Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller, where his classmates included the artists George Bellows and Edward Hopper. Kent spent the summer of 1903 assisting the eccentric painter Abbott Handerson Thayer at his studio in Dublin, New Hampshire—a position he secured through the recommendation of his Aunt Jo. Thayer’s naturalist lifestyle and almost mystical appreciation for natural phenomena greatly influenced Kent; he returned to Dublin for many years to visit Thayer and his family. Thayer gave the young artist time to pursue his work, and that summer Kent painted several views of the New Hampshire landscape, including Mount Monadnock...
