| Exhibited: | New York, Joan T. Washburn Gallery. James Brooks The Graphic Works: Prints from the 1930s to the 1970s. 12 September - 14 October 1995, catalogue, no.14, illustrated on the front cover (another example.) | | | | Note: | The present print is one from a project for the Martha Jackson Gallery in 1970, when Brooks created four color lithographs in collaboration with Michael Knigin at Chiron Press in New York. The prints were not conceived as a set, and they vary in sheet size, edition size, imagery and palette, reflecting the artist's tendency to work simultaneously in different modes. The lithographs evolved from medium-size drawings, and their imagery generally combines poured pigment, gesture and carefully placed calligraphic lines. | | |
