Signed Framed Peter Max Limited Edition Girl From Ibiza Lithograph
ExcellentA fantastic psychedelic surrealist pop lithograph from the great artist, Peter Max entitled "Girl from Ibiza." This 1981 exquisitely framed lithograph is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left.
This is lithograph is from the first visionary pop artist of the 1960's, to master of dynamic neo Expressionism, Peter Max (1937 - ) and his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary American culture. In the 1960's Max rose to youthful prominence with his now-famous "Cosmic '60s" style, a bold linear type of painting which employed Fauvist use of color and depicted transcendental themes. Peter Max revolutionized art of the 60' just as the Beatles transformed the music of the decade. As his expressionistic style evolved, becoming more sensuous and painterly, Max' unique symbolism and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations of Americans throughout the decades. Peter Max is a passionate environmentalist and defender of human and animal rights, often dedicating paintings and posters for these noteworthy causes. He has celebrated our nation's principles of freedom and democracy with his famous paintings of American icons of freedom including Lady Liberty and the American Flag. In 1981 he painted six liberty portraits for the America President and Mrs. Reagan, and in 1993, his famous "�100 Clintons' installation. Max has painted for five American presidents; Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton.
Max has had approximately forty museum shows internationally, and more than fifty gallery shows worldwide. His works appear in the prominent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. -

Roberto Antonio Sebastián Matta Echaurren was born on November 11, 1911 in Santiago, Chile. Matta was educated in his native country as an architect and interior designer at the Sacré Coeur Jesuit. Matta's acquaintance with Dali and Breton strongly influenced his artistic formation and subsequently connected him to the Surrealist movement, which he officially joined in 1937. He was in London for a short period in 1936 and worked with Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy. Matta's employment with the architects of the Spanish Republican pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition (1937) exposed him to Picasso's Guernica (1937; Madrid, Prado) which greatly impressed him and influenced him in his work. At this time, he was introduced to the work of Marcel Duchamp, whom he met not long after. He later went to Scandinavia where he met the architect Alvar Aalto and then to Russia where he worked on housing design projects. Matta died in Civitavecchia, Italy, in November of 2002.

Signed Richard Lindner On - New York City Lithograph
ExcellentA fun pop art print by famed artist, Richard Lindner, German (1901 - 1978). The 1968 lithograph from the psychedelic era is entitled "On - New York City," is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. Produced and published by Shorewood Publishers In., NY, NY as a Samuel Shore Special-Lindner April 1, 1971.
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. After a brief career as a concert pianist, in 1925 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.
This print is executed beautifully and really illustrates the impact of Richard Lindner in the art world today. -
Signed Framed Ralph Goings Limited Edition Bulldozing International Lithograph
ExcellentThis is a beautiful framed lithograph by Ralph Goings entitled "Bulldozing International." Ralph Goings excels at photo-realism and brings classic American scenes to life. This lithograph was made in 1981 and is hand-signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left.
Ralph Goings, American (1928 - ) paints pick-up trucks, franchised hamburger stands and California banks with the late model trucks gleaming arrogantly in the California sun. Next season they will be new only in the painting, in twenty years they will be perfect antique pickup trucks and their sentimental value will heighten. Hence the process of nostalgia. Goings proves again and again that the place or object, no matter how cold and stark, when vividly proclaimed within a short seasonal change, begets a larger meaning. It's a democratic triumph: all things become equal in both their power and vacuity.
As a photo realist Goings neither glorifies nor censures; but his objective rendering does often reveal the visual beauty and fascination of the pictorial subject. A hamburger stand may be one of the more typical symbols of our urban sprawl and convenience culture but, as Goings' paintings show, it may also be visually engaging precisely because of its synthetic qualities and the variety of texture, light play and reflections they afford. And it is this reflectiveness in our environment that offers us an incredibly fascinating and diverse array of visual entertainment. Goings and his fellow photo realists present us with visual truths: the object's presence is enough justification to make it a work of art.
This piece is truly an exceptional piece by Ralph Goings, photo-realism is one of the hottest styles of art currently and this is a stand out piece. -
Signed Framed Salvador Dali Limited Edition Nu A La Guittarre (Serenade) Lithograph
ExcellentA lithograph by the famous surrealist Salvador Dali entitled "Nu a la Guitarre (Serenade)" from his Nudes Suite. This work is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left. Printed on Rives paper. This is a wonderfully framed piece that showcases Dali's use of surrealism and interest in the female form.
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 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. Dal� 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.

Signed Corneille Limited Edition Elle Se Donne A L'Ete Lithograph
ExcellentA stunning and vibrant lithograph on arches entitled Elle se Donne à L'été by the famous CoBrA artist Corneille, Dutch (1922-), is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left. Corneille is known for vibrant abstract almost cubist portraits and nudes this lithograph combines both of those styles into a great piece.
Corneille or Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo is a Belgian-born Dutch master painter, printmaker, ceramicist and writer. The Artist initially trained in drawing at the Amsterdam Rijksakademie (1940 to 1943), but is considered a self-trained painter. While at the academy he became a close friend of Karel Appel and co-founded the COBRA GROUP of artists, with Appel, Alechinksy, Jorn y Dubuffet, in 1948.
His early work was naturalistic, but after being inspired by the joie de vivre of French painters, and in particular by the work of younger artists such as Edouard Pignon, he slowly moved into the Cubist style. The poetic Corneille was strongly influenced by Miro and Klee. After the group dissolved in 1951 he moved to Paris and began collecting African art. These primitive artifacts became evident in his works, which began to take on a more imaginative style, like landscapes seen from a bird's eye view, exotic birds and stylized forms. Today Corneille lives and works in Paris, he makes visits to Israel where he works with the Jaffa Atelier. On 24 in September 2003 there was an opening of his exhibition of prints, in the Ramat-Gan Museum of Art, Israel. -

Henri Matisse 1954 Le Signe de Vie Portrait Lithograph
PristineHenri Matisse 1954 unsigned lithograph entitled, "Le Signe de Vie." The original signed lithograph was done in 1946 as part of a 300 piece set that was printed at Mourlot Freres, Paris.
Considered one of the greatest French artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Henri Matisse combines sensual lines with a vibrant barrage of color to create a warm and inviting piece of art. The use of bright and loud colors with a loose and painterly approach to art was through his influence and acceptance of the Fauvist style in which he worked. Through his close attention to detail and experimentation with the female figure made, Matisse is best known for his still life scenes and nude portraits.
Having studied under the great French Symbolist painter, Gustave Moreau, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Matisse was taught the technical and painterly approach to art passed down by the Great Masters of the past. Matisse was encouraged to ignite his own individual style and infuse new breath into the academic and technical teachings of the past. "Le Signe de Vie" highlights Matisse's skill at capturing the essence of the individual within a portrait setting. The loose and free strokes enhance the sweet and feminine features of this unknown individual. -
Stamp Signed Jean Dufy Venise Le Bassin de Saint-Marc Lithograph
ExcellentStamp signed Jean Dufy lithograph entitled "Venise, Le Bassin de Saint-Marc," shows the stamp signed signature of the artist, lower right. This piece is in excellent condition with minor tears around the edges.
Having been born and grown up in Le Havre, France, Jean Dufy was surrounded by landscape settings that were the influential source and inspiration for many artists throughout the early twentieth century. Living in such a luxurious setting proved to be a great help to Dufy as he cultivated his penchant for the arts beginning at a young age. Between 1910 and 1912, Dufy moved to Paris and began traveling in the same circles as Picasso and Braque.
Many of Dufy's early works were done in the watercolor medium, which allowed him to showcase the hatching technique that he learned from Cezanne. Many of these watercolors used muted shades of vibrant colors to depict the beautiful landscapes and still life scenes that he created. This lithograph entitled "Venise, le Bassin de Saint-Marc," captures Dufy's love of coastal settings that were similar to the landscape that he grew up in and his use of bright hues that were dulled down in the process of creating his pieces. Venice would prove to be a favorite subject matter of the artist through out his career, showcasing the magnificent architecture and landscape of the Italian city. -
Andy Warhol 1954 Holy Cats Hand Printed Lithograph
ExcellentAndy Warhol untitled lithograph from his 1954 book entitled Holy Cats. Photolithograph on green colored paper from Warhol's privately printed book of ink blotted line drawings and calligraphic text written by his mother, Julia Warhola. Self-printed in New York. Issued unsigned.
Having begun his career as a commercial illustrator, it is no surprise that Andy Warhol chose to depict mainstream images in his artwork. Working in the Pop Art style, Warhol infused bright and obscure colors to bring his symbolic images to life. Often creating his artwork based around a central figure, often a celebrity or recognizable image of every day use, in a variety of juxtaposed positions in a barrage of luminescent colors.
Mrs. Warhola, very protective of her son, moved from Pittsburgh to cook for him and take care of his many stray cats as he struggled to make it in the competitive New York advertising world. She was born in Poland and barely spoke any English. Andy liked her handwriting and asked her to write out the text for Holy Cats as well as Warhol's previous 1954 book 25 Cats Named Sam and One Blue Pussy. He was delighted by the charming mistakes and random spelling errors his mother made as a non-English speaker.
Since Warhol's retrospective in 2002 at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) which included, for the first time, numerous drawings and paintings from the 40s and 50s, there has been renewed interest in this early work, which pre-dates the invention of pop art. Single unsigned sheets from the book 25 Cats Named Sam and One Blue Pussy, which are hand-colored are now fetching between $20,000 - $25,000 per sheet at auction, however Holy Cats from the same year is still undiscovered by a wider group of collectors and is still very affordable. This hand printed lithograph on green colored paper showcases a friendly cat wearing a feathering and flowering hat with the text that reads, _Some Play with Themselves_. Using the monochromatic tone of black ink, Warhol enhances the fun and frivolity of the piece while rendering the feline in quick and loose line strokes. -
