Xavier Viramontes
Letter From Gloria

2006

About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered #15/30. This is one in a series of prints related to letters and notes from a teen age friend. The other prints in the series are Chocolat Kisses and The Letter. The image shows a cluttered kitchen with signs of partying and a beefcake body-builder homoerotic image over the sink. In the 1970's, Chicano artist Xavier Viramontes worked with the Galeria De La Raza of San Francisco on a number billboard/mural projects. During this time, he also designed the poster for the United Farmworkers Union, 'Boycott Grapes’, which is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute, National Museum of American Art, in Washington, D.C. His work is also in the permanent collections of Norwalk Community Technical College, Norwalk, Connecticut, and the David and Lucile Parkard Foundation, Oakland, California. Viramontes was the subject of a 1-hour documentary Xavier Viramontes, A Life in Print which has been shown on PBS. It covers Xavier's early years growing up in a large Hispanic family in the Richmond / San Pablo, area and his involvement with the Galeria de la Raza of San Francisco. Born in Richmond, California, Xavier has a BFA Degree in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MA Degree in Printmaking from San Francisco State University. He currently teaches printmaking at City College of San Francisco.

  • George Brookshaw's Black Frontiniac Wine Grape Aquatint from "Pomona Brittanica"
    By George Brookshaw
    Located in Alamo, CA
    George Brookshaw's (1751-1823) beautiful Black Frontiniac Wine Grape hand-colored aquatint engraving, plate XVII from his "Pomona Brittanica", considered to be the finest British botanical large format treatise of the 19th-century. His engravings were unique for their rich tones and colors, elegant compositions with the fruit seeming to float on a rich mottled background. The print is presented in a gold and burgundy-colored wood frame and a light gray mat. The print is in very good condition. Another Brookshaw engraving from his series of fruit illustrations is available on 1stdibs. It is framed and matted identically to this one. It can be viewed on our 1stdibs storefront by typing Timeless Intaglio...
