The depictions in these portraits reveals an affinity for humanity rarely captured in portraiture...

All Items : Fine Art : Prints : Pre 1950 item #1416901 (stock #JB0496)
This is an interesting example of a monotype, in which art is created on a piece of glass which is then pressed against paper to produce a unique image. The artist is well listed and his paintings sell well at Canadian auctions. At first glance, this work could easily pass for a watercolor; a monotype is something of a hybrid, with characteristics of prints and original art. It measures 17 3/8" by 13 1/2" inside the mat; with an additional 5 1/4" of mat and frame on a side. Franck was born i...

An example of the wildly popular art of artist EDNA HIBEL (1917-2014), internationally known for her art in many media, the themes usually promoting peace, or exploring universal themes such as motherhood.

Original lithograph print, 1979, featuring, as the AskArt listing so aptly describes, "joyful scenes that depict the plague of childhood in a childlike way...". The artist was born in La Paz, Bolivia, and was in Europe while very young, receiving art instruction. She trained in printmaking under Johnny Friedlaender. By the mid 1960's she had already received recognition for her work, and in 1979 the UNICEF organization utilized her imagery in a poster. Boulanger's art has demonstrated worldw...
