As the world knows by now, McGwire eventually won the race and the coveted title with 70 home runs, while Sosa punished opposing pitchers with a "meager" 66 round-trippers. But this contest was much more than two men swinging for the fences. It was a national event. It wooed the indifferent as well as the world's sports fanatics. It captivated water-cooler conversations in the busy world of business. In America, where the stench of controversial high-powered politics had become the rule of the day, the McGwire-Sosa duel was like a breeze of cool fresh air. And while the Americans' emotions suffered their usual vacillations because of a rocky Wall Street or a terrorist's bombing abroad, they soared at the news of the latest assault on the home run record. In essence, pure unadulterated class ruled. No jerks here. There was none of the unprofessional, egotistical conduct we have learned to expect from the big names. McGwire and Sosa were two gentlemen with lofty goals hemmed in by unbelievable pressure. But where others have succumbed, they succeeded. They made the pressure cooker home run derby look like Little League in Taiwan as home run records fell daily like dominoes.Artist: Rick Rush * Title: "National Hero" * Medium: Lithograph printEdition: numbered in pencil, 953/1000Image Size: 11 3/4" x 18 3/4" * Overall Size: 16" x 20"Signature: in black sharpie, lower leftCertificate of Authenticity: Included * Condition: ExcellentBiography * Sports artist Rick Rush has accepted the challenge to fill the void in American art.

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #12 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 4 1/2" x 9"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

His illustrations combined elements fresh from Europe with a powerful sensuality, bringing this medium to new heights. * Reminiscent of his childhood environment, Pino s paintings are generally set in coastal, sunny, and vibrantly floral places. He uses a colorful pallet to create tender pleasurable feelings. His fine art is rich with sensuality, rousing the memory through all the senses. Pino s paintings resurrect in us the incidents of those simple, priceless moments we have stored in our memories and have so frequently forgotten. *

Artist: Mackenzie Thorpe Title: Skipping Medium: Hand-Painted Cast resin Sculpture: 13h x 8.75w x 4.5d Base: 2.25h x 8.25w x 6d Edition: 395 Arabic Biography * Internationally renowned artist Mackenzie Thorpe was raised in the industrial town of Middlesbrough in the 1950s, where his father worked as a laborer and his mother as an auxiliary nurse. Mackenzie acknowledges mixed emotions about this period in his life. He remembers the strong feeling of community spirit, the warmth and humor that flourished in the face of adversity, as well as the loneliness and isolation. * The need and compulsion to draw was obvious from an early age and remains with Mackenzie today. As a child, he would seek out whatever raw materials he could find, drawing on cigarette packs with stubs of pencils, or using eye-shadow and lipstick illicitly obtained from his mum's makeup bag. Struggling with dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing. Unsurprisingly, he left school without formal qualifications, taking on a variety of manual, unskilled jobs while continuing to draw and paint. Mackenzie eventually got the courage to enter the local art college. His lack of education and a barely readable application did nothing to warrant support, but the strength and volume of work that Mackenzie presented, coupled with his enthusiasm and commitment, won him a place at the Middlesbrough College of Art and, subsequently, the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. * After leaving art school, he spent several years working with inner-city children in London before moving to North Yorkshire to set up a studio and gallery with his wife, Susan, and children, Owen and Chloe. Since then, he has become one today's most collected and sought-after artists. His works express an entire range of human emotion, from the special bond of love and friendship, to the importance of self-reflection and individual triumphs. His works are a tribute to the creativity within us all and are a vivid expression of hope and the human spirit. * Mackenzie's perspective on life is clear. He doesn't hide the fact that often life is a struggle, a dark tunnel which can seem endless. However, he passionately believes that our frail dreams are worth nurturing and that love and honesty will triumph over adversity. *

As man is valuable, so is what man does, and sports - perhaps more than other activities - remind us of life's best moments and its brevity in the same instance.

Artist: Wassily KandinskyTitle: "Lady In Moscow" Edition: LimitedMedium: Giclee on paperSize: 22" x 17-1/2" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * "Wasilly Kandinsky (or Vassilii Kandinskii) was a Russian painter whose works from 1910 are considered the first abstract paintings. Kandinsky had a law career in Moscow until he opted for art school in Munich in 1896 -- when he was almost 30. Within a decade he'd made a name for himself in Russia and in Europe, an Expressionist whose dazzling watercolors were influenced by Russian folk art and French Impressionists such as Claude Monet. Between 1910 and 1912 he wrote about non-objective "abstract" paintings and published On the Spiritual in Art, a work that solidified his position as the father of abstract art. Known for his ingenuity with geometric shapes and use of brilliant color, Kandinsky was successful in Europe and the United States." * -from Infoplease.com: http://www.infoplease.com/biography/var/wassilykandinsky.html#ixzz1XqGt37Po *

What is there not to LOVE about this beautiful carpeted piece?!? * * Artist: Robert IndianaMedium: Serigraph on Decorative CarpetEdition: Out of 999Size: 23 5/8" x 23 5/8" * Condition: Excellent * Biography: * Robert Indiana (1928- ) was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, and he later took the "nom de brush" of his home state. He studied at art schools in Indianapolis and Utica, the Chicago School of the Art Institute and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine. In 1953 and 1954 he studied at the Edinburgh College of Art and London University, afterwards settling in New York, hanging out with art stars Ellsworth Kelly and Jack Youngerman. * Indiana's 1973 "Love" stamp was probably the most widely distributed Pop image ever (300 million were issued - the artist was paid $1,000 for his work), but his subject matter is drawn from decidedly UN-Pop American literature and poetry. Best known for sign-like paintings and sculpture, Indiana has also done figurative painting, written poetry, produced opera and collaborated on the film "EAT" with Andy Warhol. * His work is held in every major collection of contemporary art, including: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, The Netherlands; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Detroit Institute of Art, Michigan; Allentown Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Brandeis Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts; Albright-Knox Gallery of Art, Buffalo, New York; Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware; Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, Germany; Los Angeles County Museum, California; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California. * "(Indiana) has influenced a younger generation of ''word'' artists like Jenny Holzer, Christopher Wool and Barbara Kruger, and at its best it has a jumpy vitality that registers the beat of American life," wrote Grace Glueck in her 1999 review of the artist's retrospective at the Portland Museum of Art, ''Love and the American Dream: The Art of Robert Indiana.'' And the beat goes on - this image has lots of staying power and freshness and may be the perfect addition to your collection of 20th century prints. * Title: Self Portrait 69 Skid RowMedium: Lithograph on paperSheet size: 10 1/2 x 14 1/8 inchesCondition: Excellent

Artist: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: 6Medium: Lithograph on Arches PaperEdition: Limited, numberedSize: 18.75" x 17.75" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Papart (1911-1994), who was born in Marseilles, began his career as a landscape painter. His work evolved into abstraction, and he gained a reputation as the heir to classic cubism. Through the years he has developed spiritual affinities with other styles and schools. Elements of Etruscan, archaic European, African, and pre-Columbian art have influenced his work, leading to his present semi-figurative style. In Papart's art, composition goes hand in hand with color, each strengthening the other. He feels that "color is intuitive." His etchings are noted for contrast in surface textures, achieved with aquatint for a soft, mottled appearance and with carborundum, a technique that results in deep veining reminiscent of stone. Papart has received a number of awards for printmaking. His work is found in many collections, including those of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and Yale University, New Haven . *

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #4 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 8 1/2" x 6"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

This print portrays, perhaps, a half open window, and screen, and something mystyerious seeping underneath. * Artist: Ed MosesSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Untitled 7"Medium: Lithograph on paperSize: 30" x 22" Edition: Limited, numberedCondition: Excellent Biography: * Since the 1960s, Ed Moses has been one of the central figures in the Los Angeles art scene. Moses' position results not from the originality of his art but precisely from its unoriginality --that is, its fully developed synthesis of already-existing ideas and approaches. Moses, after all, is a direct inheritor of abstract expressionism and minimalism; he fairly parades his membership in the "extended family" of abstract painting. Furthermore, he has worked his way through several styles, as the MOCA shows in a retrospective, covering nearly a half-century of his work. *

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of MagritteMedium: Canvas SerigraphOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesEdition Size: 175: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Excerpts from his book, But I Digress, A Coyote's View of Art History * * RENE MAGRITTE * * My deadline for the book approaching like the Starship Enterprise approaches Klingon territory at full warp drive with fresh dylithium crystals, I sit at my writer's desk, hopped up on antihistamines, buried in art books, and Magritte's biographer tells me, by way of written word, "Anti-Painting is equivalent to anti-art, or at the very least, to a reintegration of industrial production and its sociological effects into artistic endeavor." What? Excuse me, what? The guy is nuts! I've read that sentence fifty times – it still evades me. I think the guy has no interest in informing his readers. He has no respect for words other than to use them as a way of sounding smarter and more enlightened than other authors. Which brings me to Magritte and his particular brand of Surrealism. * * Surrealism is the painted version of that sentence I read to you. It was done mostly by artists wishing not to inform, but instead to seem smarter and more enlightened than other artists. Dali is a perfect example. * * Pity the poor fool who would claim to fully understand Dali's work while Dali was within earshot. He wasn't amused by people thinking they were his equals. Now give the guy his due: he was a genius after all. But look at Magritte and what you see is a blue-collar, down to earth, nice guy, everyday Joe Surrealist. * * Magritte didn't claim to be a genius. Or a master. In fact, he didn't even claim to be a gifted painter. He didn't make impossible images, he made improbable ones. Unlike most Surrealist art, a great number of Magritte's paintings depict scenes which could actually happen, things which could actually be. * * I like a good, snappy wit. Magritte's work has wit all over it. When it isn't obvious in the painting, it's there in the title. He did a big painting of a pipe. The title? This Is Not a Pipe. He did a portrait of himself painting a bird. His reference? An egg. This guy must have been a world-class dinner guest, just a hoot to have around. Maybe not, though – artists can get testy. Most times artists get testy when they are out somewhere far from art supplies and they get a good idea. They wish they were working right that minute and since they can't, they fidget and mumble and sometimes their wife, Sheryl, has to ask them the same question five times and kick them in the shin under the table, which just makes them fuss all the more. But I digress. * * Magritte was a wickedly fast painter, a "one-a-dayer" as we in the trade like to say. They don't look near as good as a Dali close-up, but who cares. He was from Belgium, which as we all know is also the country that gave us five-time world champion motocross racer Roger DeCoster – the best ever. Magritte joined and un-joined the Communist Party (now there's a witty bunch) many times, dabbled in filmmaking, wrote some, blah, blah, blah. That's not important. Take a good hard look at Magritte's paintings and what you hear is a guy whispering, "Hey pal, anything can happen." Read that last sentence again – it's almost surreal. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of O'KeefeMedium: Canvas SerigraphOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesEdition Size: 175: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Excerpts from his book, But I Digress, A Coyote's View of Art History * * GEORGIA O'KEEFFE * * Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, rogue pirates sailed the seas, pillaging and murdering, eating meat, not brushing their teeth and smelling horrible. By the time Georgia O'Keeffe grew up, the pirates were long gone, and so we will never know who had more willpower. What we do know is that no one who knew her could match her in this regard. * * Things went well for you at Georgia's ghost ranch as long as you wanted to do everything Georgia wanted to do at the precise millisecond she decided she wanted to do it and only for as long. Otherwise, watch that cactus thorn, buster, its needle goes in and stays in. * * But I ask: Who cares? Let's talk art. Georgia started out in Manhattan painting flowers and abstracts and the coolest New York cityscapes you ever saw. She's a young raven-haired beauty when she meets gallery owner/photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, who promptly boots his wife and starts clicking his quivering shutter about a billion times. The subject? Her naked body in all its splendor. Whoops, I stopped talking about her art. She painted flowers like my mom folds towels, with exacting precision and intense passion, painted them in extreme close-up views that seem like abstract masterpieces to some and female anatomy lessons to others. * * In 1929 she cruised past New Mexico and the land of the giant watermelon (the Sandia Mountain Range – believe it or not, that's what they're named for) drew her like a cash-starved Democrat Pol to a shifty Indonesian billionaire (oooh, how topical for now). She moved there for good after Stieglitz died, and she painted what she wanted, when she wanted, how she wanted till she died. * * She painted New Mexico, an enchanted land, at its most mystical. And it is mystical. Stand outside at midnight on the outskirts of Taos – something lingers in the air. Georgia took deep, gulping gasps of that air and held it in, then let it come out and fairly engulf her work. Someone who hasn't been there never quite gets this, and someone who has, grows an abiding love for her stuff. Add me to that list. * * I painted some bones floating in the air behind her in my portrait of her. Some ninny looked at it and asked me if that was a sexual innuendo. I mean, hey, are you nuts? Absolutely not. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

Offered here is a spectacular signed, limited edition serigraph by our most popular and collectible artist, LeRoy Neiman: * Title: "Big Five" * 2001 * Serigraph on paper * Image size: 21 × 42 * Hand signed by the artist * Numbered from a limited edition of 585 * Excellent condition; never mounted, matted or framed * Certificate of Authenticity * Here's how the artist describes the dramatic scene in his own words: "To set the stage for the painting drama, allow me to present the cast of characters starring the Big Five - the Lion, the Elephant, the Cape Buffalo, the Rhinoceros and the Leopard, plus cameos by the Cheetah, the Zebra and the Giraffe. A huge stomping bull elephant dominates the center area. With earth-shaking footfalls he cuts a swath through the tall grass, ears flapping full sail. He has rudely interrupted the post-dining naps of two passive, well-fed lions as the pachyderm's pack follow their leader, plodding and swaying as they trail behind. * * "To the left of the centerpiece elephant, an awe-inspiring, massive, prehistoric rhinoceros couple graze unconcerned, grunting and snorting. Their two-inch think hide is so rugged and weathered you'd think the ones your looking at right now are thousands of years old. You can be sure the cagey leopard, camouflaged overhead in his luxurious spotted coat, will not mess with the rhinoceros. With rhino, the idea is just to stay clear. * * "Behind the rhino is a trio of cheetah, the imperial feline. The passing parade of pachyderms has interrupted their conspiracy to ambush a zebra. To the right of the elephant, the frieze of zebra travel east to west. From this distance their bleating cannot be heard, but their stripes make them highly visible. On the other side of looming Mt. Kenya are the distinctive, balletic giraffe. With their commanding view they are the snobbish overseers of the veldt. Finally, the cape buffalo are grazing dangerously close to the lions, assuming they are sated. They all face lionward. You just don't turn your back, whatever the lion's mood." * * * Stunning!

This art print has a cross hatched pattern in subdued tones, creating a feeling of texture. * Artist: Ed MosesSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Eloi Ricco 2"Medium: Lithograph on paperSize: 30" x 22" Edition: Limited, numberedCondition: Excellent Biography: * Since the 1960s, Ed Moses has been one of the central figures in the Los Angeles art scene. Moses' position results not from the originality of his art but precisely from its unoriginality --that is, its fully developed synthesis of already-existing ideas and approaches. Moses, after all, is a direct inheritor of abstract expressionism and minimalism; he fairly parades his membership in the "extended family" of abstract painting. Furthermore, he has worked his way through several styles, as the MOCA shows in a retrospective, covering nearly a half-century of his work. *

Artist: Salvador Dali (posthumous rendition of)Title: Self PortraitMedium: Posthumous EtchingSize: 13 1/2 x 11 inches Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Salvador Dali was born in 1904 in Figueras, Spain. He was the third Salvador Dali, for his father was named Salvador and so was his older brother who had died 9 months before Dali was born. Because of the coincidental dates that marked the death of one child and the birth of the next falling on the same date, his parents believed that their second son was actually a reincarnation of the first. Due to this, the "ghostly" memory of his lost sibling was to haunt him for the rest of his life. Dali took on a unique and conspicuous personality. He felt as though he was forced to live both as himself and his dead brother, which caused him to have a particular obsession with decay and petrification. In 1922 Dali was accepted into a special school for painting, sculpture, and engraving known as the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. He exhibits his paintings in a student art show at the Dalmau gallery in Barcelona. A year later, Dali was suspended from the academy for criticizing his lecturers and inciting a student rebellion. At the age of 18, Dali had become a member of the young elite, an emerging group of intellectuals. In 1923, Dali first started to experiment with cubism. He became a leader of an avant-garde group of young Spanish intellectuals. He has his first one man show in the same year at the Dalmau Gallery.In 1926 Dali takes his first trip to Brussels and Paris where he visits Picasso and Miro. He also has his second one man show at the Dalamu Gallery and is expelled from the San Fernando Academy due to his refusal to take the oral exams. He felt that he knew more than his examiners on the subject of Raphael. Far from discouraged, Dali was determined to be one of the greatest painters of all time. In 1928 Dali does theater designs for Mariana Pineda and he works regularly with the journal, L'Aime de les Arts. Miro visits Dali and encourages him to establish himself in Paris. Shortly after, Dali takes his second trip to Paris and Miro introduces him to the Dadaists and Surrealists groups.In 1929 he meets his future wife, Gala Eluard in Cadaques. This same year he has his first one man show in Paris at Goeman's Gallery. Dali embraced the ideas of surrealism but in a way unique to him. In the early 1930's Dali expands on his paranoiac critical process of thought and in 1933 the Julian Levey Gallery organizes Dali's first one-man show in the United States, in New York. *

This self portrait contains the great, bolg geometric shapes the artist is known for. * * Artist: Robert Indiana Title: Self Portrait 69 Skid RowMedium: Lithograph on paperSheet size: 10 1/2 x 14 1/8 inchesCondition: ExcellentBiography: * Robert Indiana (1928- ) was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, and he later took the "nom de brush" of his home state. He studied at art schools in Indianapolis and Utica, the Chicago School of the Art Institute and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine. In 1953 and 1954 he studied at the Edinburgh College of Art and London University, afterwards settling in New York, hanging out with art stars Ellsworth Kelly and Jack Youngerman. * Indiana's 1973 "Love" stamp was probably the most widely distributed Pop image ever (300 million were issued - the artist was paid $1,000 for his work), but his subject matter is drawn from decidedly UN-Pop American literature and poetry. Best known for sign-like paintings and sculpture, Indiana has also done figurative painting, written poetry, produced opera and collaborated on the film "EAT" with Andy Warhol. * His work is held in every major collection of contemporary art, including: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, The Netherlands; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Detroit Institute of Art, Michigan; Allentown Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Brandeis Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts; Albright-Knox Gallery of Art, Buffalo, New York; Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware; Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, Germany; Los Angeles County Museum, California; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California. * "(Indiana) has influenced a younger generation of ''word'' artists like Jenny Holzer, Christopher Wool and Barbara Kruger, and at its best it has a jumpy vitality that registers the beat of American life," wrote Grace Glueck in her 1999 review of the artist's retrospective at the Portland Museum of Art, ''Love and the American Dream: The Art of Robert Indiana.'' And the beat goes on - this image has lots of staying power and freshness and may be the perfect addition to your collection of 20th century prints. *

Artist: PinoSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "The Dancer"Edition: NumberedMedium: Giclee on CanvasSize: 32" x 24" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Pino, born Guiseppe Dangelico in Bari on November 8, 1939, began his studies at the city s Art Institute. In 1960 he entered Milan s Academy of Brera where he perfected his talent for painting nudes. In the two years he studied at the Academy, he came under the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli. From 1960 to 1979, his work appeared in several major exhibitions throughout Italy and Europe. He was also commissioned by Italy s two largest publisher s, Mondadori and Rizzoli, for book illustrations. However, he felt restricted in Milan. He wanted more artistic freedom, which he believed he could find in the United States. * After knocking on many doors, in February of 1980, Zebra Books Publishers promised him a job, commissioning him to do a book cover.His interpretation was new, fresh and sensual. Stylistically, he brought the characters into the foreground where his technique and talent for painting the anatomy was celebrated. His illustrations were so successful that he gained entr e into creative relationships with many leading publishers of romance novels. His popularity grew within the literary community and he became the artist-in-demand for Zebra, Bantam, Simon and Schuster, Harlequin, Penguin USA and Dell. From 1980 to 1993 he dedicated himself totally to this art where his style dominated and influenced the market. His illustrations combined elements fresh from Europe with a powerful sensuality, bringing this medium to new heights. * Reminiscent of his childhood environment, Pino s paintings are generally set in coastal, sunny, and vibrantly floral places. He uses a colorful pallet to create tender pleasurable feelings. His fine art is rich with sensuality, rousing the memory through all the senses. Pino s paintings resurrect in us the incidents of those simple, priceless moments we have stored in our memories and have so frequently forgotten. *

"Just as images coalesce from the gestural strokes of her paintings, the horses in 'Genesis' appear to rise before our eyes from the mass of shapeless metal.

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #13 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 7 1/2" x 9"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

This masterful mezzotint is by well-known Japanese artist Kaoru Saito: Title: "Snowy Night" 1989 Mezzotint Sheet size: 14¼ × 15 Image size: 8½ × 10 Signed and numbered from an edition of 93 Bright and fresh; never mounted, matted or framed Certificate of Authenticity Kaoru Saito is basically self-taught in the mezzotint process, yet he is considered to be one of its most accomplished technicians. It is an extremely difficult, labor-intensive and rarely practiced print method, including scratching hundreds, if not thousands of passes across a metal plate until the entire surface has a rough, uniform texture. The plate would print solid black if it were now run through the press. A burnishing tool is then used to rub smooth the areas which will print from gray to white. Mezzotint rewards the skilled practitioner with subtle shading and incredible graphic detail. Images in this series that include color were printed with additional, aquatint plates. Saito, now in his 70s, was born and still lives in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan.

A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

Artist: Mackenzie ThorpeTitle: Love by the Pale MoonlightMedium: Lithograph on PaperOrientation: verticalImage Size: 13.75 x 20 inchesPaper Size: 17.75 x 24.5 inchesEdition Size: 200: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Biography * Internationally renowned artist Mackenzie Thorpe was raised in the industrial town of Middlesbrough in the 1950s, where his father worked as a laborer and his mother as an auxiliary nurse. Mackenzie acknowledges mixed emotions about this period in his life. He remembers the strong feeling of community spirit, the warmth and humor that flourished in the face of adversity, as well as the loneliness and isolation. * The need and compulsion to draw was obvious from an early age and remains with Mackenzie today. As a child, he would seek out whatever raw materials he could find, drawing on cigarette packs with stubs of pencils, or using eye-shadow and lipstick illicitly obtained from his mum's makeup bag. Struggling with dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing. Unsurprisingly, he left school without formal qualifications, taking on a variety of manual, unskilled jobs while continuing to draw and paint. Mackenzie eventually got the courage to enter the local art college. His lack of education and a barely readable application did nothing to warrant support, but the strength and volume of work that Mackenzie presented, coupled with his enthusiasm and commitment, won him a place at the Middlesbrough College of Art and, subsequently, the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. * After leaving art school, he spent several years working with inner-city children in London before moving to North Yorkshire to set up a studio and gallery with his wife, Susan, and children, Owen and Chloe. Since then, he has become one today's most collected and sought-after artists. His works express an entire range of human emotion, from the special bond of love and friendship, to the importance of self-reflection and individual triumphs. His works are a tribute to the creativity within us all and are a vivid expression of hope and the human spirit. * Mackenzie's perspective on life is clear. He doesn't hide the fact that often life is a struggle, a dark tunnel which can seem endless. However, he passionately believes that our frail dreams are worth nurturing and that love and honesty will triumph over adversity. *

Artist: Salvador Dali (posthumous rendition of)Title: Portrait of ChagallMedium: Posthumous EtchingSize: 13 x 10 inches Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Salvador Dali was born in 1904 in Figueras, Spain. He was the third Salvador Dali, for his father was named Salvador and so was his older brother who had died 9 months before Dali was born. Because of the coincidental dates that marked the death of one child and the birth of the next falling on the same date, his parents believed that their second son was actually a reincarnation of the first. Due to this, the "ghostly" memory of his lost sibling was to haunt him for the rest of his life. Dali took on a unique and conspicuous personality. He felt as though he was forced to live both as himself and his dead brother, which caused him to have a particular obsession with decay and petrification. In 1922 Dali was accepted into a special school for painting, sculpture, and engraving known as the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. He exhibits his paintings in a student art show at the Dalmau gallery in Barcelona. A year later, Dali was suspended from the academy for criticizing his lecturers and inciting a student rebellion. At the age of 18, Dali had become a member of the young elite, an emerging group of intellectuals. In 1923, Dali first started to experiment with cubism. He became a leader of an avant-garde group of young Spanish intellectuals. He has his first one man show in the same year at the Dalmau Gallery.In 1926 Dali takes his first trip to Brussels and Paris where he visits Picasso and Miro. He also has his second one man show at the Dalamu Gallery and is expelled from the San Fernando Academy due to his refusal to take the oral exams. He felt that he knew more than his examiners on the subject of Raphael. Far from discouraged, Dali was determined to be one of the greatest painters of all time. In 1928 Dali does theater designs for Mariana Pineda and he works regularly with the journal, L'Aime de les Arts. Miro visits Dali and encourages him to establish himself in Paris. Shortly after, Dali takes his second trip to Paris and Miro introduces him to the Dadaists and Surrealists groups.In 1929 he meets his future wife, Gala Eluard in Cadaques. This same year he has his first one man show in Paris at Goeman's Gallery. Dali embraced the ideas of surrealism but in a way unique to him. In the early 1930's Dali expands on his paranoiac critical process of thought and in 1933 the Julian Levey Gallery organizes Dali's first one-man show in the United States, in New York. *

Here is the second in a series of cross hatched patterned prints. * Artist: Ed MosesSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Double Trac 2"Medium: Lithograph on paperSize: 30" x 22" Edition: Limited, numberedCondition: Excellent Biography: * Since the 1960s, Ed Moses has been one of the central figures in the Los Angeles art scene. Moses' position results not from the originality of his art but precisely from its unoriginality --that is, its fully developed synthesis of already-existing ideas and approaches. Moses, after all, is a direct inheritor of abstract expressionism and minimalism; he fairly parades his membership in the "extended family" of abstract painting. Furthermore, he has worked his way through several styles, as the MOCA shows in a retrospective, covering nearly a half-century of his work. *

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #2 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 8 1/2" x 6"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

Melvin was a true bachelor, and though he loved his gal Elena very much, he let her know he was not the marrying kind. "Marriage," he told her, "is like cutting off my arms and handing them to you. Yes, the arms can hold you and keep you safe, but I can no longer use them myself to reach for the sky. From that point on I must focus my gaze on the foreground, and leave the horizon to others. I don't want this, and I doubt you would either." This was before the dream that would change his life. It began with Melvin standing in a field. In the sky above him this appeared: "Unir 1." Melvin couldn't make sense of it. Then Elena appeared, floating slowly across the sky toward him. In his hand was a huge pear. She took a bite of it as she neared him, then handed it to him and said, "Partake, my love, and clear the path. Soon the way will come to you." Melvin took a bite. It was delicious. He handed it back up to her and as she took it she said, "An old proverb will lead you to where I shall be waiting." Melvin spoke, "An old proverb? What, like "You are what you eat?" "And so it shall be," Elena began, "Tell me now, what have you partaken, what shall you be?" "I – we – ate part of a big pear," Melvin replied, "Then we are both parts of a big pair, are we not?" Elena asked. "Uh, yeah. Okay I get it," Melvin said. "And ever shall be. You and I are one, and we are each made larger and more complete by out pairing." With that Elena began to float away, but Melvin stopped her, "What does 'Unir 1' mean?" he asked. "I already told you, my love, fear not, it will come back to you, only slow down." The next day Melvin saw Elena and he promptly proposed. She was more than a little bit surprised, especially after she said yes and he offered her a pear instead of a ring. He said, "It'll come to you." She replied, "It better." * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #5 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 8 1/2" x 6"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

Artist: Salvador Dali (posthumous rendition of)Title: Don QuixoteMedium: Posthumous EtchingSize: 13 x 11 inches Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Salvador Dali was born in 1904 in Figueras, Spain. He was the third Salvador Dali, for his father was named Salvador and so was his older brother who had died 9 months before Dali was born. Because of the coincidental dates that marked the death of one child and the birth of the next falling on the same date, his parents believed that their second son was actually a reincarnation of the first. Due to this, the "ghostly" memory of his lost sibling was to haunt him for the rest of his life. Dali took on a unique and conspicuous personality. He felt as though he was forced to live both as himself and his dead brother, which caused him to have a particular obsession with decay and petrification. In 1922 Dali was accepted into a special school for painting, sculpture, and engraving known as the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. He exhibits his paintings in a student art show at the Dalmau gallery in Barcelona. A year later, Dali was suspended from the academy for criticizing his lecturers and inciting a student rebellion. At the age of 18, Dali had become a member of the young elite, an emerging group of intellectuals. In 1923, Dali first started to experiment with cubism. He became a leader of an avant-garde group of young Spanish intellectuals. He has his first one man show in the same year at the Dalmau Gallery.In 1926 Dali takes his first trip to Brussels and Paris where he visits Picasso and Miro. He also has his second one man show at the Dalamu Gallery and is expelled from the San Fernando Academy due to his refusal to take the oral exams. He felt that he knew more than his examiners on the subject of Raphael. Far from discouraged, Dali was determined to be one of the greatest painters of all time. In 1928 Dali does theater designs for Mariana Pineda and he works regularly with the journal, L'Aime de les Arts. Miro visits Dali and encourages him to establish himself in Paris. Shortly after, Dali takes his second trip to Paris and Miro introduces him to the Dadaists and Surrealists groups.In 1929 he meets his future wife, Gala Eluard in Cadaques. This same year he has his first one man show in Paris at Goeman's Gallery. Dali embraced the ideas of surrealism but in a way unique to him. In the early 1930's Dali expands on his paranoiac critical process of thought and in 1933 the Julian Levey Gallery organizes Dali's first one-man show in the United States, in New York. *

What is there not to LOVE about this beautiful carpeted piece?!? * * Artist: Robert IndianaMedium: Serigraph on Decorative CarpetEdition: Out of 999Size: 23 5/8" x 23 5/8" * Condition: Excellent * Biography: * Robert Indiana (1928- ) was born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, and he later took the "nom de brush" of his home state. He studied at art schools in Indianapolis and Utica, the Chicago School of the Art Institute and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine. In 1953 and 1954 he studied at the Edinburgh College of Art and London University, afterwards settling in New York, hanging out with art stars Ellsworth Kelly and Jack Youngerman. * Indiana's 1973 "Love" stamp was probably the most widely distributed Pop image ever (300 million were issued - the artist was paid $1,000 for his work), but his subject matter is drawn from decidedly UN-Pop American literature and poetry. Best known for sign-like paintings and sculpture, Indiana has also done figurative painting, written poetry, produced opera and collaborated on the film "EAT" with Andy Warhol. * His work is held in every major collection of contemporary art, including: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, The Netherlands; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Detroit Institute of Art, Michigan; Allentown Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Brandeis Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts; Albright-Knox Gallery of Art, Buffalo, New York; Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware; Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, Germany; Los Angeles County Museum, California; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California. * "(Indiana) has influenced a younger generation of ''word'' artists like Jenny Holzer, Christopher Wool and Barbara Kruger, and at its best it has a jumpy vitality that registers the beat of American life," wrote Grace Glueck in her 1999 review of the artist's retrospective at the Portland Museum of Art, ''Love and the American Dream: The Art of Robert Indiana.'' And the beat goes on - this image has lots of staying power and freshness and may be the perfect addition to your collection of 20th century prints. * Title: Self Portrait 69 Skid RowMedium: Lithograph on paperSheet size: 10 1/2 x 14 1/8 inchesCondition: Excellent

The night I got the apartment, I positioned all my paintings on the floor beneath the place I intended to hang them. That night as I slept, Zeke made his mark on every single one. Thank heavens for two things: 1) They were acrylic. 2) They were lousy. Gustav Klimt, a master of twentieth-century art, had cats. Dozens of cats, all of which had to "go." He made thousands of beautiful drawings. He laid them on the floor . . . with all the cats . . . * * Somewhere an art dealer is weeping . . . * * Let's not talk about his drawings anymore, shall we? Yes, fine, the paintings then. We are entering a glacial shift here now, new notions about art and how far you can tweak it are popping up like lost relatives at a millionaire's wake. Gustav was right there, melting the glacier with a gold-gilded blowtorch. He decided he didn't need to show the shape of a garment, or even show where the garment stops and the background starts. He just painted these lovely decorative swirls and patterns in blues and yellows and reds, and then applied gold all around them. How cool. And the farther out there he got, the more rules he forgot, the more interesting his world became. * * Many of Klimt's paintings had a sexual quality to them and, as you might guess, it put some noses out of joint. Almost all of his paintings of men and women have the woman as the bright shining star and the man as the groping also-ran. That put noses askew as well. And so whenever he looked about and saw a sea of mangled noses, he packed a bag and did some landscapes. Smart guy. * * He died at age fifty-five, orphaning about 268 cats and leaving fatherless more than a few little boys and girls all around Vienna. He was frisky, just like those cats. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

Not that I wouldn't anyway. * * I know why he likes him. Pat loves motion. Nobody captured motion better than Degas. Many were the times I can recall him approaching his snot-nosed runt little brother's basement studio and saying, "God, that music you like is repulsive. Turn it down. What could you find appealing in it? How can you draw with your ears on fire? I can't stand it in here. Ooooh – you've got nice motion there." And then he'd leave to immerse himself again in the classical music that I found utterly lacking. No lyrics! Got to have lyrics. But I digress. * * Some folks say Edgar is an Impressionist, others say no. I say he dabbled, he flirted. Remember what Impressionism is. They're all about light and color; subjects don't matter. Well, Edgar put huge importance on light, even more on color, but more than anything he was nuts about subject and composition. * * Lordy, that boy is good. Degas was a huge fan of Ingres. Ingres told young Edgar to learn to draw, draw like the wind, and darned if he didn't do just that. Degas is a draftsman's draftsman, a painter's painter, and a pasteler's pasteler. (Pasteler? That can't be right.) He played to the strengths of each medium he worked in. A brilliant technician, but beyond that nobody can touch Edgar when it comes to capturing spontaneous movement and its particular effect on light and shadow. A stud. Man alive, could he draw from memory. You'd swear he was working from snapshots. Nope. Cameras only took still pictures back then. I guess he could have said, "Now hold it," but that would have caused the dancers to get miffed or worse, get a bunion. All he had was a sketchbook and a quick hand. Wow. To this day I can't figure out how he could concentrate in those ballet studios with all that classical music blaring in his ears. He probably just did a quick pencil study and then ran back to his basement studio to crank some Zeppelin. * * Every profession has its own particular horror. Singers fear throat cancer, balloonists fear vertigo, a sommelier fears sinusitis, a politician fears a moral compass, painters fear blindness. Well, Edgar went blind. Not completely, but still . . . yikes! How ironic that someone who created such an expansive feast for the eyes would, in the end, find himself starved for sight. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant.

Mackenzie acknowledges mixed emotions about this period in his life. He remembers the strong feeling of community spirit, the warmth and humor that flourished in the face of adversity, as well as the loneliness and isolation. * The need and compulsion to draw was obvious from an early age and remains with Mackenzie today. As a child, he would seek out whatever raw materials he could find, drawing on cigarette packs with stubs of pencils, or using eye-shadow and lipstick illicitly obtained from his mum's makeup bag. Struggling with dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing. Unsurprisingly, he left school without formal qualifications, taking on a variety of manual, unskilled jobs while continuing to draw and paint. Mackenzie eventually got the courage to enter the local art college. His lack of education and a barely readable application did nothing to warrant support, but the strength and volume of work that Mackenzie presented, coupled with his enthusiasm and commitment, won him a place at the Middlesbrough College of Art and, subsequently, the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. * After leaving art school, he spent several years working with inner-city children in London before moving to North Yorkshire to set up a studio and gallery with his wife, Susan, and children, Owen and Chloe. Since then, he has become one today's most collected and sought-after artists. His works express an entire range of human emotion, from the special bond of love and friendship, to the importance of self-reflection and individual triumphs. His works are a tribute to the creativity within us all and are a vivid expression of hope and the human spirit. * Mackenzie's perspective on life is clear. He doesn't hide the fact that often life is a struggle, a dark tunnel which can seem endless. However, he passionately believes that our frail dreams are worth nurturing and that love and honesty will triumph over adversity. *

In 1960 he entered Milan s Academy of Brera where he perfected his talent for painting nudes. In the two years he studied at the Academy, he came under the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli. From 1960 to 1979, his work appeared in several major exhibitions throughout Italy and Europe. He was also commissioned by Italy s two largest publisher s, Mondadori and Rizzoli, for book illustrations. However, he felt restricted in Milan. He wanted more artistic freedom, which he believed he could find in the United States. * After knocking on many doors, in February of 1980, Zebra Books Publishers promised him a job, commissioning him to do a book cover.His interpretation was new, fresh and sensual. Stylistically, he brought the characters into the foreground where his technique and talent for painting the anatomy was celebrated. His illustrations were so successful that he gained entr e into creative relationships with many leading publishers of romance novels. His popularity grew within the literary community and he became the artist-in-demand for Zebra, Bantam, Simon and Schuster, Harlequin, Penguin USA and Dell. From 1980 to 1993 he dedicated himself totally to this art where his style dominated and influenced the market. His illustrations combined elements fresh from Europe with a powerful sensuality, bringing this medium to new heights. * Reminiscent of his childhood environment, Pino s paintings are generally set in coastal, sunny, and vibrantly floral places. He uses a colorful pallet to create tender pleasurable feelings. His fine art is rich with sensuality, rousing the memory through all the senses. Pino s paintings resurrect in us the incidents of those simple, priceless moments we have stored in our memories and have so frequently forgotten. *

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of RiveraMedium: Canvas SerigraphOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesEdition Size: 175: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Excerpts from his book, But I Digress, A Coyote's View of Art History * * DIEGO RIVERA * * Don't get a vegetarian chef to run your steakhouse's kitchen, and don't hire an atheist to interpret your Bible, and don't hire a Communist to paint a mural about the joys of Capitalism. A certain Mr. Rockefeller skipped that third rule when he hired Diego Rivera to paint a mural in the foyer of Thirty Rock (30 Rockefeller Center, NYC). Uh oh. Many coats of gesso and a litany of cuss words later, the Rivera mural is gone, with a proper pro-industry image replacing it (which, incidentally, is an image I adore . . . it is the single coolest thing in all of Manhattan). Lump it, Diego. * * He wasn't handsome. His bulging eyes looked in two directions, he was obese, had bad skin, and his hair was a mess. No matter, the gals dug him, and he was a sex machine. Richard Roundtree's Shaft character is actually Diego Rivera with a car and a gun. Okay, I'm stretching, but I'm right on the mark when I say Diego Rivera was easily as socially successful as Paul Gauguin. Gauguin, as we know, caught syphilis; Diego Rivera had cancer of the, um, winkle. Some might see instruction in this information, others not. I'm not touching it. * * What a lovely painter. He knew his people, Mexicans toiling humbly, working quietly and diligently. He loved them, and that love comes through so eloquently in his canvases. He saw these workers as heroic, regardless of their task, saw the work they do carrying flowers or tooling machines just as important as the work of any law-making bureaucrat or corporate CEO. Almost makes me want to turn Marxist and I would, if not for currently having a job as the CEO of my own corporation. * * Diego was married to Frida Kahlo, whom I'll tell you about next. He put her in some of his murals, depicting her handing out guns and knives to the Revolutionaries. How sweet. Diego, unlike, say, those wimpy Impressionists, was not into nicey-nicey stuff. He would have just as soon pistol-whipped Renoir as look at him. Rivera wanted his art to tell a tale, to send a message, to cause a revolution, to unite the workers and overthrow the man! Fight the power! Lenin lives! Trotsky's a putz! Murals rule! Government for the muralist, by the muralist! A muralist in every pot! We have nothing to paint but paint itself! * * It's just not right that I make fun this way, but you know, paintings don't overthrow governments any more than dancers win fights. It only happens in the movies. That fact, however, does in no way alter the beauty, the importance, the power, or the artistic splendor of the paintings and murals of Diego Rivera. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds.

Offered here is an original piece of sports art is guaranteed one-of-kind and absolutely authentic! * This is a unique original framed drawing of a dream that never came true - a monumental bronze statue celebrating three Chicago Blackhawks legends - Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Glenn Hall envisioned by world renowned sculptor Omri Amrany: Pencil drawing on archival paper Framed dimensions 34 × 46 inches Drawing 26 × 30 inches Signed in pencil LR Dated 1999 LR Handsome and very complimentary framing treatment This unique drawing has a fascinating story behind it. The concept of the sculpture was first proposed to Bill Wirtz, the owner of the Blackhawks. The sculptor's idea was to site it opposite the famous Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls "Spirit" statue in front of the United Center (the shared home of the Bulls and the Blackhawks), which was also created by Chicago artists Omri Amrany and his wife Julie Rotblatt-Amrany. The concept was rejected. * * Besides the Michael Jordan statue (which has achieved landmark status in Chicago), Julie Rotblatt-Amrany and Omri Amrany, this creative team executed a bronze bust of Harry Carey, which was unveiled in 1999 in front of Wrigley Field. They also recently unveiled a series of steel statues in front of Detroit Tigers stadium (Comerica Park) of their hall of famers, including Hank Greenberg, Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, and others.

Artist: Albrecht DurerEngraver: Amand-DurandTitle: #3 * Medium: Etching on paper * Size: 8 1/2" x 6"Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Amand - Durand, born in Paris, France, 1831, became a master engraver early in his career. He deeply admired the 15 th, 16 th and 17 th century Old Masters' engravings and saw how they lost quality and faded from the ravages of time. This realization, combined with in-depth research throughout public and private collections of these masters, inspired his dedication to recreate their images and preserve the original quality for future generations.References to Amand - Durand indicate that his work was well known to experts of the 19 th and 20 th century etchings. George Duplessis, Conservator of the Cabinet Estampes in 1855, so appreciated his skill that he published master books which now belong to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and in his own work, Histoire de la Gravure. This, an historic study of European engravings, is a book so valuable in its reproductive quality that it is kept under lock and key at major libraries.Soon after Amand - Durand's death in 1905, his original copper plates were obtained by the prestigious French book publishers, DOMINIQUE VINCENT et cie. They mainly published the work for book illustrations, but sporadically sold it to private parties interested in this unique creation. And now, over a century after Amand - Durand painstakingly recreated Durer's etchings, the benefits of his devotion to quality and beauty are again being felt throughout the entire art world. * *

Artist: Mackenzie ThorpeTitle: To the JobMedium: Lithograph on PaperOrientation: horizontalImage Size: 20 x 15 inchesPaper Size: 24 x 19.5 inchesEdition Size: 200: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Biography * Internationally renowned artist Mackenzie Thorpe was raised in the industrial town of Middlesbrough in the 1950s, where his father worked as a laborer and his mother as an auxiliary nurse. Mackenzie acknowledges mixed emotions about this period in his life. He remembers the strong feeling of community spirit, the warmth and humor that flourished in the face of adversity, as well as the loneliness and isolation. * The need and compulsion to draw was obvious from an early age and remains with Mackenzie today. As a child, he would seek out whatever raw materials he could find, drawing on cigarette packs with stubs of pencils, or using eye-shadow and lipstick illicitly obtained from his mum's makeup bag. Struggling with dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing. Unsurprisingly, he left school without formal qualifications, taking on a variety of manual, unskilled jobs while continuing to draw and paint. Mackenzie eventually got the courage to enter the local art college. His lack of education and a barely readable application did nothing to warrant support, but the strength and volume of work that Mackenzie presented, coupled with his enthusiasm and commitment, won him a place at the Middlesbrough College of Art and, subsequently, the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. * After leaving art school, he spent several years working with inner-city children in London before moving to North Yorkshire to set up a studio and gallery with his wife, Susan, and children, Owen and Chloe. Since then, he has become one today's most collected and sought-after artists. His works express an entire range of human emotion, from the special bond of love and friendship, to the importance of self-reflection and individual triumphs. His works are a tribute to the creativity within us all and are a vivid expression of hope and the human spirit. * Mackenzie's perspective on life is clear. He doesn't hide the fact that often life is a struggle, a dark tunnel which can seem endless. However, he passionately believes that our frail dreams are worth nurturing and that love and honesty will triumph over adversity. *

Artist: Wassily KandinskyTitle: "Red Spot II"Edition: LimitedMedium: Giclee on paperSize: 22" x 17-1/2" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * "Wasilly Kandinsky (or Vassilii Kandinskii) was a Russian painter whose works from 1910 are considered the first abstract paintings. Kandinsky had a law career in Moscow until he opted for art school in Munich in 1896 -- when he was almost 30. Within a decade he'd made a name for himself in Russia and in Europe, an Expressionist whose dazzling watercolors were influenced by Russian folk art and French Impressionists such as Claude Monet. Between 1910 and 1912 he wrote about non-objective "abstract" paintings and published On the Spiritual in Art, a work that solidified his position as the father of abstract art. Known for his ingenuity with geometric shapes and use of brilliant color, Kandinsky was successful in Europe and the United States." * -from Infoplease.com: http://www.infoplease.com/biography/var/wassilykandinsky.html#ixzz1XqGt37Po *

His work in the 1970's included a commission for a postage stamp in the theme of environmental preservation, a cause in which he devoted himself. Max has painted four former U.S. Presidents: Carter, Ford, Bush and Reagan. His concern for world peace has led to his involvement in some significant political events, including stamp designs for the first United Nations Environmental Summit, and a carving from a portion of the Berlin Wall. He has been the official artist for the World Cup USA, the Super Bowl, and the Grammy Awards. His awards are numerous, and include honorable recognition for product, fashion, food, book, and poster designs. His latest project is a collaboration with computer effects producer Silicon Graphics.

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of DaliMedium: Canvas SerigraphOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesEdition Size: 175: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.Excerpts from his book, But I Digress, A Coyote's View of Art History * * SALVADOR DALI * * Salvador Dali was one of the pioneers and the undisputed star of the art movement called Surrealism. It was supposed to be sort of a bridge between conscious and unconscious, between reality and dreaming. He's also the primary reason most people think I get ideas while dreaming when, in fact, I never do. I once had a dream back when I was a teenager and I still remember it: I was motocross racing (when I was young, I ate, slept, drank and dated racing motorcycles) and the bike I was riding was a Husqvarna 360 with a purple gas tank! Weird city! Everyone knows the Husqvarna 360 has a maroon gas tank! Purple? It's nuts! My point here is simple: if Dali's dreams looked like his paintings . . . Whoa! No more pickles after eleven o'clock! That's one wacky conductor he's got on his dream-weaver train. I mean, can't you see it? Dali and his wife in bed sleeping, and Dali jumps up and says, "Wow, I just had the strangest dream!" And his wife says, "Oh good. I've had my eye on this beautiful Chanel suit and now I can get it!" But I digress. Let's talk about his work. * * Salvador Dali was a masterful painter, a true technician. Not that you'd know if he weren't because, well, it's surreal and so it's supposed to look wrong. Still, there's an obvious genius to his paintings, in particular the really huge ones and the really tiny ones. Very cool. What I like best about it is the obvious effort he put in. Man, that is real work! Anybody who works that hard honors his canvases that way – you've got to take your hat off to him. As for the validity of Surrealism, I once saw a hypnotized guy act like a chicken without his knowledge, so I don't trust the subconscious – it's too tricky. How could you even really know when it wasn't bluffing? So no, I don't put much stock in Surrealism. World's weird enough when you're awake, that's what I think. But again, you've got to admire Dali's work ethic. And, as you've probably already noticed, nothing in the world of fine arts gets more respect from me than good, old-fashioned elbow grease. It's the primary flaw in art education today: they just don't put enough emphasis on the kind of flat-out effort you can see in a Dali canvas. And so these misled art students think they need only sneeze at a blank canvas to be considered a competent painter! It makes me nuts! But I digress. * Biography * * Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the small farming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popular restaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless "racer", Markus was the youngest and most challenging of the four Pierson children. * * While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus' talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene was somewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs before accidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After a near-fatal bout with Crohn's Disease in early 1985, he declared that the accountant was "dead" and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becoming a successful artist. * * The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song, "Coyote." He loved it, played it often and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as "Coyote," is a reckless, footloose Casanova type fellow - Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he'd never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. * * Over the next six months Markus painted billboards by day for a living and drew his Coyotes into the night. To the wall above his desk he taped these words, "No one works this hard and this smart - and has it come to nothing." Within a year, he walked out of Artexpo in New York City with commitments from 110 art galleries who sought to represent his work. * * In the decades that followed, Pierson's work has evolved to include a vast array of paintings, drawings, sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs and original found-object works. Over time, the metaphor of the Coyote has taken on a more poignant and profound purpose. At its essence, the work urges us to pursue our dreams, wear our hearts on our sleeves, and to celebrate all of life's ups and downs. He has had nearly one hundred solo exhibitions in galleries across America, Australia and New Zealand, while also being featured at various prestigious international fairs including Art Miami, Artexpo New York, Sofa Chicago, Chicago Contemporary & Classic, and palmbeach3. Markus has amassed a collector base which includes Heads of State, major corporations and celebrities worldwide. * * Markus' wife and muse is artist, Sheryl Pierson. The two live and work in a converted loft in Kansas City, Missouri. * * "There's no doubt in my mind that my success has more to do with luck than talent, more to do with stubbornness than vision, more to do with ignorance than insight, but the fact remains that I pursued my dream and attained it against staggering odds. I say this now to anyone who will listen: even if I had failed, it would have been worth it. Better to face a brutal truth than to grow old wondering what might have been. " Markus Pierson *

His work evolved into abstraction, and he gained a reputation as the heir to classic cubism. Through the years he has developed spiritual affinities with other styles and schools. Elements of Etruscan, archaic European, African, and pre-Columbian art have influenced his work, leading to his present semi-figurative style. In Papart's art, composition goes hand in hand with color, each strengthening the other. He feels that "color is intuitive." His etchings are noted for contrast in surface textures, achieved with aquatint for a soft, mottled appearance and with carborundum, a technique that results in deep veining reminiscent of stone. Papart has received a number of awards for printmaking. His work is found in many collections, including those of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, and Yale University, New Haven . *
