Signed Framed Mel Ramos Limited Edition Fraulein French Fries Lithograph
ExcellentA framed lithograph by the master of pop pin-up art, Mel Ramos, American (1935 - ). This piece is entitled “Fraulein French Fries” and was printed in 2002 in an edition of 499.
Mel Ramos was born in 1935 at Sacramento, California. Between 1954 and 1958 he studied at the Sacramento City College, the San José State College and the Sacramento State College, finishing with an M.A. From 1958, he taught at various institutions including Elk Grove High School, Mira Lama High School and California State College.

In 1963, he was first included in a collective exhibition in Pop Goes the East at the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston.
The popularity of his works is evident in the fact that since 1959 he has participated in more than 120 group shows. He has enjoyed great success and critical acclaim as an adventuresome artist with the creativity and sense of humor it takes to remain on top. Mel Ramos received his first important recognition in the early 1960s. Ramos, along with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, produced art works that celebrated aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media. His paintings were shown along with theirs in major exhibitions of Pop Art both in this country and in Europe and were reproduced, often with irony, in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout the world. -

Signed Mel Ramos Limited Edition Peek A Boo Marilyn 3 Lithograph
ExcellentA signed limited edition lithograph by Mel Ramos, American (1935 - ) entitled "Peek a Boo Marilyn 3" created in 2002. This piece is an excellent example of Ramos' work in the realm of pin-up pop art and is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. Mel Ramos is known for his humorous pin-up style using pop art figures.
Though primarily a figurative painter, Mel Ramos has experimented freely with realist and abstract art forms for the past twenty years. A few of his works, such as the ones here, embody both formats. This combination works to enhance the detail and feature of each format while detracting from the duality of the image making it wholly singular. The popularity of his works is evident in the fact that since 1959 he has participated in more than 120 group shows. Born in Sacramento, Calif. in 1935 he has enjoyed great success and critical acclaim as an adventuresome artist with the creativity and sense of humor it takes to remain on top.

His paintings were shown along with theirs in major exhibitions of Pop Art both in this country and in Europe and were reproduced, often with irony, in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout the world.
Some critical observers of the "art scene" persist in classifying Mel Ramos as a Pop Artist. His identification with the Pop movement of the 1960's was much too narrow to account for the broader context of his paintings. His humor is not satire of ridicule. His "parodies” are respectful, affectionate tributes, a celebration of images with personal meaning. -

Signed Framed Salvador Dali Limited Edition Helen Of Troy Lithograph
ExcellentA lithograph by the famous surrealist Salvador Dali entitled "Helen of Troy" from his Homage a Homer Suite is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. Printed by Levine and Levine. This is a wonderful piece that showcases Dali's use of surrealism.
Salvador Dali was born in May 11, 1904 in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain. Dalí became a leader of the surrealist movement. His painting, The Persistence of Memory, with the soft or melting watches is still one of the best-known surrealist works. But as the war approached, the apolitical Dalí clashed with the surrealists and was "expelled" from the surrealist group during a "trial" in 1934. He did however, exhibit works in international surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade but by 1940, Dalí was moving into a new style that eventually became known as his "classic" period, demonstrating a preoccupation with science and religion. As an artist, Salvador Dalí was not limited to a particular style or media. The body of his work, from early impressionist paintings through his transitional surrealist works, and into his classical period, reveals a constantly growing and evolving artist. Dalí worked in all media, leaving behind a wealth of oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, and sculptures, jewels and objects of all descriptions.
This is an exquisite example of the work of Salvador Dali is a great example of the impact and beauty that Dali has brought to the world of art.
Referenced in "The Official Catalog of the Graphic works of Salvador Dali" by Albert Field, 1996 as Figure 77-4 B on page 118.

Signed Framed Richard Lindner Limited Edition Pillow and Almost Circle Lithograph
ExcellentA framed lithograph by the famed artist, Richard Lindner that is entitled "Pillow and Almost a Circle," is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. This piece features one of the "circus women/streetwalker" images that he has become well known for. The lithograph was printed in 1969 and is from an edition of 250.
Painter Richard Lindner's highly idiosyncratic work incorporates elements of his personal history, as well as literary associations. The element of introspection separates his work from pop art. He was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1901 to an American mother and a German father. In 1925, after a brief career as a concert pianist, Lindner entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Eventually, he became an art director for Knorr & Hirth, a publisher closely associated with the Nazis. There, Lindner met high-ranking Nazis, including Hitler. Though he became a United States citizen in 1948, Lindner considered himself a New Yorker, but not a true American. However, over the course of time, his continental circus women became New York City streetwalkers. New York police uniforms replaced European military uniforms as symbols of authority. Lindner taught at the Pratt Institute from 1952 to 1965. He died in 1978. -
Plate Signed Framed After Rene Magritte Les Enfants Trouves: la Traversee Difficile Lithograph
ExcellentA plate signed lithograph after the famous surrealist René Magritte, which is entitled "Les Enfants Trouvés: la Traversée Difficile." The original was printed in 1968.
René Magritte was born on the 21st November, 1898 in Hainaut, Belgium. His father was a tailor and a merchant, whose failing business caused the family to move often. René lost his mother at the early age of 14, tragically when she committed suicide for unclear reasons. From 1916 through 1918, Magritte studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels (Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts). He became a wallpaper designer and commercial artist. His early paintings were executed under the influence of the Cubist and Futurist (1918-1920) movements; he was then inspired by the Purists and Fernand Léger. In 1922, Magritte married Georgette Berger, with whom he first became acquainted when he was fifteen years old. After meeting again in 1920, she became his model and then wife. Demonstrating the problems of visual perception and illusionary of images, Magritte used the symbols of mirrors, eyes, windows, stages and curtains and pictures within pictures. Magritte died of cancer at the age of 69 on August 15, 1967 in Brussels. -

Don Eddy is widely heralded as one of the greats in realism and this piece combines two of the most popular art forms today: pop and photo-realism.
A realist artist, sometimes called a photo-realist, Don Eddy works in acrylic on canvas as well as in colored pencil on paper. Over the past decade, Eddy has moved from images of toys floating in front of landscapes and majestic architectural interiors within the perimeters of one rectangular canvas to juxtaposing images in triptych and polytych configurations. Underlying his panoply of images from nature and man's interaction there-with is a profound desire to explore (and by so doing achieve a better understanding of) the mysteries of being. The artist's juxtaposition of images is never literal, narrative or didactic, but poetic, infused with his interest in things philosophical and spiritual. Eddy studied at the University of California and the University of Hawaii and has had numerous shows all over the United States. Eddy's work is highly collected as well by some of the largest corporations and governmental agencies. -
Red Grooms Limited Edition Guggenheim Color Lithograph
ExcellentA great example of the New York based artist, Red Grooms (American, 1937 - ). The piece is a lithograph on cartridge paper entitled "Guggenheim" and was printed in 1978.
Red Grooms was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1937. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the New School for Social Research, New York. In the 1950s Grooms moved to New York City to immerse himself in the art scene. For nearly fifty years Grooms has combined color, vibrancy, and a generous dose of self-deprecating humor to produce art in all media that provokes and delights. He pokes fun at the icons of American politics, entertainment, the art world, while paying homage to his subjects at the same time. No artist since Honoré Daumier has had a greater understanding of humor or a more direct connection to his audience. In return, Grooms has earned the public's unqualified admiration and appreciation. -
Framed Georges Braque After Torero from the Espace Portfolio Lithograph
ExcellentA great example of the modern artwork of Georges Braque, French (1882 - 1963). This piece is a lithograph from the Espace Series of prints entitled "Torero." The lithograph was printed by L'Imprimier Union in Paris in 1957 from the original in 1952, and is therefore considered an after piece; it is not signed by Braque. The portfolio tirage sheet of Espace was signed by Braque and therefore these pieces were all overseen by the artist in ink. Published by Au Vent d'Arles, Paris, 1957.
Georges Braque was born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, France. He grew up in Le Havre and studied evenings at the local Ecole des Beaux-Arts from about 1897 to 1899. He left for Paris to study under a master decorator to receive his craftsman certificate in 1901. From 1902 to 1904, he painted at the Académie Humbert in Paris, where he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia. By 1906, Braque's work was no longer Impressionist but Fauve in style. After spending the summer of 1906 in Antwerp with Othon Friesz, he showed his Fauve work the following year in the Salon des Indépendants in Paris. His first solo show was at Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler's gallery in 1908. Beginning in 1909, Pablo Picasso and Braque worked together in developing Cubism; by 1911 their styles were extremely similar. In 1912, they started to incorporate collage elements into their paintings and to experiment with the papier collé (pasted paper) technique. Their artistic collaboration lasted until 1914. Braque served in the French army during World War I and was wounded. Upon his recovery in 1917, he began a close friendship with Juan Gris. During the last few years of his life, Braque's ill health prevented him from undertaking further large-scale commissions, but he continued to paint, create lithographs, and design jewelry. He died on August 31, 1963, in Paris. -
Signed Framed Romare Bearden Ltd Ed Autumn of the Rooster Lithograph
ExcellentA piece of artwork by the famed American artist, Romare Bearden, American (1911 - 1988) entitled "Autumn of the Rooster." Romare Bearden is considered to be one of the greatest contributors to the African American art world. It is a framed lithograph created in 1983.
Romare Bearden was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1914. Soon after his birth, his family moved to Harlem in New York City. During the mid-1930s, when Bearden was a student of George Grosz at the Art Students League, he founded the "306 Group" for black artists living in Harlem. Romare Bearden was honored during his lifetime and posthumously with numerous prestigious awards, publications and exhibitions. Along with representation in important public and private collections, he was also awarded the National Medal of the Arts and honored with a groundbreaking retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Art. A master collagist, Bearden is celebrated today as a preeminent, highly prolific artist of exceptional and multifaceted talents and interests. He was a jazz aficionado, author of scholarly books, a song writer/lyricist as well an arts activist and an engaged humanist. Bearden incorporated into his artwork a rich combination of influences from the art and culture of America, Africa, Asia and Europe and took inspiration from memories and experiences of the rural South, the urban North and the Caribbean. Romare Bearden, painter and collage maker, filled his works with the symbols and myths of the American black experience. -
Signed Framed Cesar Baldaccini Limited Edition Compressed Plastic Lithograph
ExcellentAn exquisite piece of pop art by the great artist, César Baldaccini (French, 1921 - 1998). This piece is entitled "Compressed Plastic" and is a lithograph from an edition of 150 and hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
Baldaccini is considered as perhaps the greatest innovator among modern artists. His work is astonishing in its range, use of varied materials, and originality. César Baldaccini's (1921 - 1998) extraordinary life and career began in the Marseille ghetto of Belle-de-Mai where he and his twin sister were born on January 1, 1921. At age 13 young César left school to work with his father in the wine business. At 15, César's mother encouraged him to enroll in night classes at the local art school, where he rapidly distinguished himself. He soon found himself at the Ecole des Beaus-Arts in Paris. In 1960, he fundamentally altered the course of metal sculpture by inventing the automobile compression. His grand scale human "imprints" represented the first use of plastic as an accepted medium for sculptural expression. In the late 1960's, he again manifested his explosive innovativeness when he first came upon the expressive potentialities of polyurethane frames, which were richly fulfilled in his ebullient expansions. Cesar's expressive junk sculpture, his distinctive crystal sculptures, his plaques (Bas Reliefs) his envahissements (objects covered with plastic or metal), and his successful jewelry compressions further demonstrate his impressive virtuosity and versatility. -
Framed Marc Chagall After La Message Biblique Lithograph Poster
ExcellentA framed lithograph poster by the Russian/French artist Marc Chagall. This lithograph poster was created in 1967 for a gallery and Louvre museum exhibition of Chagall's "Le Message Biblique." The piece is not signed but is a rare poster that highlights the great work of Marc Chagall.
Marc Chagall (7 July 1887 -- 28 March 1985) was a Russian-Belarusian-French painter of Jewish origin, who was born in Belarus, which at that time was part of the Russian Empire. He is associated with the modern movements after impressionism. Marc Chagall was born Moishe Shagal; his name was rendered in the Russian language as Mark Zakharovich Shagalov. In 1950, he also began experimenting with graphic mediums. After meeting with Fernand Mourlot, with whom he developed a close relationship, he often visited Mourlot Studios where he eventually produced close to a thousand different lithographic editions. With the assistance of Charles Sorlier, a master printer working at Mourlot, he spent 30 years exploring the graphic medium that most lends itself to color representation. Charles Sorlier also became one of his closest friends, assistant and counsel until the day of his death. At the age of 97, Chagall died in Saint-Paul de Vence on the French Riviera on March 28, 1985 and was buried at the local cemetery. His plot is located in the most westerly aisle upon entering the cemetery. -
Signed Framed Salvador Dali Limited Edition Les Caprices Pinces Princiers Lithograph
ExcellentA lithograph with separate engraving by Salvador Dali. This piece is from the portfolio, "Les Dinere de Gala" and is entitled "Les Caprices Pinces Princiers" from 1975. The piece is from an edition of 395 and the separate engraving at the bottom of the piece is entitled "La Cuillere aux Bequilles" or "Spoon on Crutches." Les dinere de Gala is a portfilio of ornate edible creations.
Salvador Dali was born in May 11, 1904 in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain. Dal� became a leader of the surrealist movement. His painting, "The Persistence of Memory," with the soft or melting watches is still one of the best-known surrealist works. But as the war approached, the apolitical Dal� clashed with the surrealists and was "expelled" from the surrealist group during a "trial" in 1934. He did however, exhibit works in international surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade but by 1940, Dal� was moving into a new style that eventually became known as his "classic" period, demonstrating a preoccupation with science and religion. As an artist, Salvador Dal� was not limited to any particular style or media. The body of his work, from early impressionist paintings through his transitional surrealist works, and into his classical period, reveals a constantly growing and evolving artist. Dal� worked in all media, leaving behind a wealth of oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, sculptures, jewels and objects of all descriptions. In 1974, Dal� opened the Teatro Museo in Figueres, Spain. This was followed by retrospectives in Paris and London at the end of the decade. After the death of his wife, Gala, in 1982, Dal�'s health began to fail. It deteriorated further after he was burned in a fire in his home in Pubol in 1984. Two years later, a pace-maker was implanted. Much of this part of his life was spent in seclusion, first in Pubol and later in his apartments at Torre Galatea, adjacent to the Teatro Museo. Salvador Dal� died on January 23, 1989 in Figueres from heart failure with respiratory complications. -
Framed Robert Motherwell Ltd Ed Octavio Paz Three Poems I Lithograph With Chine Colle
ExcellentA modern abstract work by Robert Motherwell, American (1915 - 1991), which was created as part of the portfolio "Three Poems" by Octavio Paz in 1987. This framed lithograph is on Japon paper with Chine Colle and is unsigned from an edition of 750. Printed by Trestle Editions and published by Limited Editions Club.
A leading exponent of American abstract expressionism, Robert Motherwell has served as a vital spokesman for the avant-garde of the mid-twentieth century. He introduced the term "abstract expressionism" to the United States and helped crystallize the direction of the new movement with his painting and writing. Born in Aberdeen, Washington Motherwell studied at the Otis Institute and the California School of Fine Arts, before moving permanently to the Fast coast as a young man. He studied philosophy at Harvard and art history at Columbia, deciding at age 26 to become a painter. In 1942, following a trip to Mexico, he settled in New York City to begin professional painting.
Motherwell found his medium in 1943 when noted art patron Peggy Guggenheim asked three American artists, including Motherwell, to contribute to the first all-collage show held in this country. Motherwell set to work with paper, scissors and paste, an experience that galvanized him to adopt collage as his continuing mode of expression. One year later, he held his first one-man show at the Art of This Century Gallery. Since then, he has been included in every major exhibition of American abstract art. -
