American, (1898-1978)

Lithograph, 1939, edition 20. 12 1/8 x 17 1/4 in. Signed and dated on the stone, lower left. Signed, numbered and titled in pencil. This is a superb impression with full margins. The condition is fine apart from a small previous hinge on the top left edge, verso. This highly regarded and uncommon print was originally printed in an edition of twelve and in 1972 the second edition of twenty was printed. "Through the WPA project and it's lithographic printer, Carl Winter, Feitelson and (Helen) Lundeberg undertook to make prints which reflected these noted artists' achievements in Post-Surreal Abstraction, which they pioneered in Southern California." This text is on page 18 of Los Angeles Prints, 1883-1980, by Ebria Feinblatt and Bruce Davis (1980). This print is illustrated on page 53 of this catalogue and there's a painting which relates to the lithograph. (Impressions of this print are found in the National Gallery of Art (DC), the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Whitney American Art Museum.)      SOLD
