Artist: Mark KingTitle: Golf SwingMedium: Serigraph on paperEdition: LimitedSignature: Signed and numbered by artistSize: 40" x 26" * Condition: Excellent * Biography * Mark King (1931- ) has carefully studied the old and modern masters from Cimabue and Massacio to Goya, Turner, Degas, and Bonnard. Fascinated with painting techniques, King meticulously layers colors, glazes and shapes as substrata for the five or ten percent of the acrylic paint that floats on top and forms the finished composition. The underpainting filters through to the surface creating depth and texture. Because of his alla prima approach, in which a painting is realized in a burst of inspiration and single application of pigments, King confesses, "It is not until the last ten to fifteen minutes before completion that I am able in to see where the painting is going and catch the mood of the moment." * King follows in the footsteps of Courbet and the Impressionists, painting what he sees, such as the familiar streets, monuments and quarters of Paris. King never fully defines his seductive faces and figures, which he often shows from behind, as if they too were silent observers like himself * * King's versatility and zest for life transform everything he paints into strong patterns of brilliant color. His subtle understanding of how color, texture and paint interact is his strong point. Color conveys feelings and emotions in the creation of a timeless art, and now in the full maturity of his career, he has achieved superb mastery of his palette. * * Received from: http://www.artistmarkking.com/02bio/ *

Artist: Mackenzie ThorpeTitle: Lunch Time in South BankMedium: Lithograph on PaperOrientation: verticalImage Size: 14.25 x 17 inchesPaper Size: 19.25 x 22 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. *

He grew up in New York, and started a family by the time he was 21. His artistic career sprung forth after moving to California, where he began painting portraits, and giving art lessons. He was commissioned by Playboy magazine to provide humorous illustrations. His unique perspective on the human condition was soon recognized by people of all walks of life. Bragg has had solo exhibitions in San Francisco, New Orleans, Munich, and other cities. He has been the subject of a PBS documentary, Charles Bragg - One of A Kind. * Today Charles Bragg is highly acclaimed and avidly collected, and is considered to be one of the wittiest and wisest observers of contemporary life.

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: Ira Moskowitz Signature: Signed by the artist in pencil, lower rightTitle: Music To HeavenMedium: Lithograph on paperEdition: Limited, numbered out of 300Size: 30" x 21" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Ira Moskowitz, (1912 - 2001) descendant of a long rabbinical line, was born in Poland and went with his family to Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1914. The family remained there until 1927, and young Moskowitz received his first education in Prague's schools. Soon after, his family moved to New York City, and in 1927 Moskowitz became the pupil of Henry Wickey at the Art Students League, having finally resolved his conflict between a passion for drawing and a desire to follow the rabbinical profession of his forefathers. Between 1935 and 1938, he traveled to Israel and to Europe where he studied the works of the old masters, an interest derived from his first teacher and one that eventually led to his active collaboration in 1954 on the four-volume series, "Great Drawings of All Time." * In 1939, Moskowitz made his first trip to Mexico, and stayed for six months. In 1943 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship and moved to New Mexico, where he remained for seven years drawing the Indians and becoming an active member of the Taos-Sante Fe artists group. His book, "Patterns and Ceremonials of the Indians of the Southwest," appeared in 1949. Since 1962, Moskowitz has divided his time between Paris and New York. He is a superb draughtsman in the old tradition, drawing with a quick, nervous, but incisive line that is extremely lively and full of movement. His subject matter takes its shape from the life that he sees around him-natural forms, the human figure, landscapes, and people at their daily tasks. *

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 mezzotint artwork portrays a woman with flowers. The flowers appear to be held in her hands, but also take on a purely abstract decorative quality, along with her face. Artist: Kaoru Saito Title: Sa Sanqua Date: 1987 Medium: Mezzotint Signed and numbered Edition of 93 Size: 15" x 18" Condition: Excellent Retail gallery price 1000 USD Certificate of Authenticity included * This is a lovely image, and a fine mezzotint. 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. *

Artist: Mackenzie ThorpeTitle: A Telegraph PoleMedium: Lithograph on PaperOrientation: verticalImage Size: 7 x 15.25 inchesPaper Size: 12.5 x 21.5 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. *

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: Markus PiersonTitle: American Coyote in Paris No. 12Medium: Photolitho on PaperOrientation: horizontalImage Size: 9.25 x 6 inchesPaper Size: 14.25 x 11.25 inchesEdition Size: 195: Signed by the artist, individually numbered, accompanied by certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.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: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: La Noia Medium: Embossed LithographEdition: Limited, numberedSize: 22" x 29-7/8" 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 .

Offered here is an original Signed and Framed Bela Bodo Oil painting on canvas. In this work we see a lush countryside painted with thick expressive brush strokes reminiscent of the forceful and gestual approach used by Impressionist masters. Bodo's oeuvre often includes images culled from nature and this work inspired by the sublime beauty of a slow summer afternoon is very characteristic of the artist's natural and organic interests. A subtle color palette of pale pinks and greens gives this work a tranquil and serene feel. A molded gold frame with ornamental detailing completes this work perfectly.

Since that time, he has lived on both coasts and the Midwest, eventually settling in his present location in Northern California. Bodo's success garnered him much attention and eventually Walter Foster Publication commissioned the artist to create and design a book on the art of painting landscape scenery. The resulting publication, 32 Painting Lessons in Oil, is a widely popular text and carried in bookstores worldwide. A romantic impressionist, Bodo's work in landscapes and his magnificent florals are full of energy, reminiscent of those artists who revolutionized the Paris art world a century ago. Noted for his masterful use of luminous color and light, Bodo regards texture as an integral part of the finished work. * * Give any room an Impressionist flair with this Original Signed Oil Painting by the famed artist, Bela Bodo!

Neiman transports us to the French Rivera, with a teasing glimpse of the luxurious life aboard a private yacht. In view, a clear blue horizon with a crisp breeze in the air that sooths the sun's intense rays, the ideal afternoon for a sun goddess.

January 6, 1706] - April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman and diplomat. As a scientist he was a major figure in the Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and a musical instrument. He formed both the first public lending library in America and first fire department in Pennsylvania. He was an early proponent of colonial unity and as a political writer and activist he, more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation[1] and as a diplomat during the American Revolution, he secured the French alliance that helped to make independence possible. * * * Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Franklin learned printing from his older brother and became a newspaper editor, printer, and merchant in Philadelphia, becoming very wealthy, writing and publishing Poor Richard's Almanack and the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin was interested in science and technology, and gained international renown for his famous experiments. He played a major role in establishing the University of Pennsylvania and Franklin & Marshall College and was elected the first president of the American Philosophical Society. Franklin became a national hero in America when he spearheaded the effort to have Parliament repeal the unpopular Stamp Act. An accomplished diplomat, he was widely admired among the French as American minister to Paris and was a major figure in the development of positive Franco-American relations. From 1775 to 1776, Franklin was Postmaster General under the Continental Congress and from 1785 to 1788 was President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania. Toward the end of his life, he became one of the most prominent abolitionists. * * * Franklin's colorful life and legacy of scientific and political achievement, and status as one of America's most influential Founding Fathers, has seen Franklin honored on coinage and money; warships; the names of many towns, counties, educational institutions, namesakes, and companies; and more than two centuries after his death, countless cultural references.

Artist: Mackenzie Thorpe Title: Love Cat Medium: Serigraph on Paper Image: 30" x 27" Paper: 36.5" x 33" 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. *

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. * *

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 subjects are classically posed, dramatically lit, and surrounded by conflated fragments from the history of painting, such as bubbles, glass bottles, drapery, vegetables lifted from the still-life table, and vague empty settings to better project the subject of the picture. In the end, however, the entire world and inner life of his subjects derive completely from his imagination. * Retrieved from: http://rogallery.com/Condo/Condo-bio.html

Artist: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: Noia a la LunaMedium: Embossed LithographEdition: Limited, numberedSize: 22" x 29-7/8" 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 .

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. *

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.

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: Henri de Toulouse-LautrecTitle: "Moulin Rouge"Edition: LimitedMedium: Giclee on paperSize: 22" x 17-1/2" (approximate)Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de (1864-1901). Many immortal painters lived and worked in Paris during the late 19th century. They included Degas, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec. Toulouse-Lautrec observed and captured in his art the Parisian nightlife of the period. * Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born on Nov. 24, 1864, in Albi, France. He was an aristocrat, the son and heir of Comte Alphonse-Charles de Toulouse and last in line of a family that dated back a thousand years. Henri's father was rich, handsome, and eccentric. His mother was overly devoted to her only living child. Henri was weak and often sick. By the time he was 10 he had begun to draw and paint. * He stayed in the Montmartre section of Paris, the center of the cabaret entertainment and bohemian life that he loved to paint. Circuses, dance halls and nightclubs, racetracks--all these spectacles were set down on canvas or made into lithographs. * Toulouse-Lautrec was very much a part of all this activity. He would sit at a crowded nightclub table, laughing and drinking, and at the same time he would make swift sketches. The next morning in his studio he would expand the sketches into bright-colored paintings. * In order to become a part of the Montmartre life--as well as to protect himself against the crowd's ridicule of his appearance--Toulouse-Lautrec began to drink heavily. In the 1890s the drinking started to affect his health. He was confined to a sanatorium and to his mother's care at home, but he could not stay away from alcohol. Toulouse-Lautrec died on Sept. 9, 1901, at the family chateau of Malrome. Since then his paintings and posters--particularly the Moulin Rouge group--have been in great demand and bring high prices at auctions and art sales. *

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of DaliMedium: Serigraph on PaperOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 17 x 18 inchesEdition Size: 175: Hand-deckled edges, 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 *

In early June of 1863, General Robert E. Lee began moving his Army of Northern Virginia from Fredericksburg, Virginia on the campaign that would end at the battle of Gettysburg. His cavalry division, commanded by General J.E.B. Stuart, encamped briefly near Culpeper, Virginia. The young, flamboyant General Stuart ordered his staff to arrange a ball for officers and guests. * * * The town hall at Culpeper was commandeered as a makeshift ballroom for the occasion, and was appropriately decorated. On the evening of June 4, 1863, Stuart s officers and guests began arriving. Officers wore their dress uniforms, typically adorned with gold braid, brass buttons, and sash and sword belt. Ladies came attired in the finest fashions available in the beleaguered South. Accompanying General Stuart was his wife, Flora, who was visiting her husband s headquarters. Inside, the pageantry and gaiety of the Old South awaited Stuart and his officers. Days later, they would face a bloody confrontation at the battle of Brandy Station, the largest cavalry engagement of the war, and a month later they would be recoiling from the devastating defeat Lee s army would suffer at Gettysburg. At the moment, however, the South s fortunes seemed bright and a brief respite from war awaited them inside. The ball was about to begin.

Struggling from dyslexia throughout his childhood, Mackenzie found confidence in painting and drawing and eventually summoned the courage to go to art school. 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, as well as his own gallery. Since then, he has become one of the world's most collected and sought-after artists. His art works have been exhibited in museums and galleries across 4 continents. * About the Artist - "My ambition is to unite the world through the eyes of these children and let today's cultures understand that in order to sustain our societies, we must protect and nurture our children, and also protect and nurture the child within us all. It is our responsibility to love these children, to let them bring love back to the world, and to keep our eyes open to the wonderment of childhood." - Mackenzie Thorpe *

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.

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: 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. *

Artist: PinoSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Flamenco In Red"Edition: NumberedMedium: Giclee on CanvasSize: 46" x 36" 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. *

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. *

They are the wheels of life. Those in a clock mark the passage of time. Others, like, say, those placed in a v-twin engine, do just the opposite. They free us from time. Wonderful. * 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: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: 7Medium: Lithograph on Japon PaperEdition: Limited, numberedSize: 25.5" x 19.5" 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.

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 . *

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: 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 *

This abstract lithograph features a modern abstract display of geometric shapes, done in a more unusual freehand drawing style.

Jonathan Lasker (1948- ) studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York, and California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. * From the artist's own words: * "A critic once wrote that my work asked the same question of its viewer that John Q. Public would ask when looking at an abstract painting. The question being, What is that supposed to be? What the critic, Stephen Westfall, meant was that although my forms are abstract, my paintings give viewers suggestions to help them perceive pictorial images in my paintings. Suggestion, of course, being the only way one sees images in a painting, even if the painting is supposedly realistic." * Lasker's work has appeared in many group shows in the U.S. and Europe, and can be found in public collections, including MIT Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and Wacoal Art Center, Tokyo.

Artist: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: 2Medium: Lithograph on Japon Paper Edition: Limited, numberedSize: 25.75" x 21.25" 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: Ira Moskowitz Signature: Signed by the artist in pencil, lower rightTitle: The Burning BushMedium: Lithograph on paperEdition: Limited, numbered out of 100Size: 30" x 21" Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Ira Moskowitz, (1912 - 2001) descendant of a long rabbinical line, was born in Poland and went with his family to Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1914. The family remained there until 1927, and young Moskowitz received his first education in Prague's schools. Soon after, his family moved to New York City, and in 1927 Moskowitz became the pupil of Henry Wickey at the Art Students League, having finally resolved his conflict between a passion for drawing and a desire to follow the rabbinical profession of his forefathers. Between 1935 and 1938, he traveled to Israel and to Europe where he studied the works of the old masters, an interest derived from his first teacher and one that eventually led to his active collaboration in 1954 on the four-volume series, "Great Drawings of All Time." * In 1939, Moskowitz made his first trip to Mexico, and stayed for six months. In 1943 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship and moved to New Mexico, where he remained for seven years drawing the Indians and becoming an active member of the Taos-Sante Fe artists group. His book, "Patterns and Ceremonials of the Indians of the Southwest," appeared in 1949. Since 1962, Moskowitz has divided his time between Paris and New York. He is a superb draughtsman in the old tradition, drawing with a quick, nervous, but incisive line that is extremely lively and full of movement. His subject matter takes its shape from the life that he sees around him-natural forms, the human figure, landscapes, and people at their daily tasks. *

Artist: Markus Pierson Title: This Is Not a Coyote Medium: Hand-painted Cast Resin Dims: 26h x 17w x 10d base: 2h x 9w x 9d Edition: 95 signed and numbered sculptures Certificate of Authenticity included 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 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.

Artist: Max PapartSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: 3Medium: Aquatint on Hand Made PaperEdition: Limited, numberedSize: 21" x 38.5" 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: Henri de Toulouse-LautrecTitle: "At The Moulin Rouge II "Edition: LimitedMedium: Giclee on paperSize: 22" x 17-1/2" (approximate)Condition: ExcellentBiography: * Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de (1864-1901). Many immortal painters lived and worked in Paris during the late 19th century. They included Degas, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec. Toulouse-Lautrec observed and captured in his art the Parisian nightlife of the period. * Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born on Nov. 24, 1864, in Albi, France. He was an aristocrat, the son and heir of Comte Alphonse-Charles de Toulouse and last in line of a family that dated back a thousand years. Henri's father was rich, handsome, and eccentric. His mother was overly devoted to her only living child. Henri was weak and often sick. By the time he was 10 he had begun to draw and paint. * He stayed in the Montmartre section of Paris, the center of the cabaret entertainment and bohemian life that he loved to paint. Circuses, dance halls and nightclubs, racetracks--all these spectacles were set down on canvas or made into lithographs. * Toulouse-Lautrec was very much a part of all this activity. He would sit at a crowded nightclub table, laughing and drinking, and at the same time he would make swift sketches. The next morning in his studio he would expand the sketches into bright-colored paintings. * In order to become a part of the Montmartre life--as well as to protect himself against the crowd's ridicule of his appearance--Toulouse-Lautrec began to drink heavily. In the 1890s the drinking started to affect his health. He was confined to a sanatorium and to his mother's care at home, but he could not stay away from alcohol. Toulouse-Lautrec died on Sept. 9, 1901, at the family chateau of Malrome. Since then his paintings and posters--particularly the Moulin Rouge group--have been in great demand and bring high prices at auctions and art sales. *

To escape severe economic conditions his family settled in Paris, France in 1931. During the German occupation of France, Tobiasse and his family survived by going into hiding for two years living in total isolation and darkness. It is this sense of survival and the joy of that realization that typifies Tobiasse's work. * His work reflects many themes including elements of his childhood memories, Jewish history, Biblical themes, and women.

Artist: Markus PiersonTitle: Coyote Portrait of Van GoghMedium: Serigraph on PaperOrientation: verticalImage Size: 10 x 11.5 inchesPaper Size: 17 x 18 inchesEdition Size: 175: Hand-deckled edges, 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 * * VINCENT VAN GOGH * * Ahhhh, Vincent . . . You know, I should just stop right there, let the work do the talking, something I'm sure Vincent would have much preferred. He once said that he loved the notion that paintings don't need words, that they stand on their own merits. Modern art critics get real prickly when they hear stuff like that. After all, they have limos to pay for and suites at the Chateau Marmont to rent – just like any other Joe. Why, if not for them, people might think my work is good and Jackson Pollock is a hack, and we can't have that. Many misconceptions about Vincent persist, despite the ungodly amount of literature generated about him and the voluminous stack of letters about his paintings he sent to his dear brother, Theo. Theo is responsible for much of Vincent's perseverance, much the way my brother, Pat, is responsible for mine. He liked my work when few did. What a gem of a guy. But I digress. * * Let's keep it simple. Vincent was Dutch, born in 1853, his complexion as pasty as mine pre-bologna sandwich (see Botticelli) and it stayed that way. More sensitive than a nitro-burning seismograph made of Balsa wood and feathers, Vincent made his way through his childhood like a naked shepherd at a porcupine farm – very cautiously. Uncertain about himself in every way and yet somehow arrogant, Vincent got a job at an art dealer's place, where he eventually pissed off everyone and they booted him. He then gave in to the call of the Lord and became a preacher. He went to minister to the most wretched, destitute folks he could find, but like a tennis player playing lesser talent, soon he found himself as wretched as they. He got booted from the Lord's work, too. * * In 1880 Vincent Van Gogh decided to become an artist, and until his death in 1890 at age thirty-seven, he created the most compelling, brilliant, awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping body of work ever. He was utterly driven to paint, sometimes completing two canvases in a single day. Masterpieces. Holy mackerel. His life continued to be traumatic, however – he fell in love with his cousin, but was scorned, intimately involved himself with various brothel types, got in a nasty scrape with Gauguin one night and cut off part of his own ear. He ate paint chips loaded with toxins and poured turpentine on his pillow to sleep. He often stared directly into the sun for long periods of time. He ran absolutely no risk of being appointed Director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Finally, he bought a gun and shot himself. * * People ask me, "Why? What makes Vinnie such a Top Dog?" I say this: every serious painter, sooner or later, goes out on a ledge and finds it uncomfortable. It's too risky, too scary, they're too exposed out there. Not Vincent. He went there and never came back. He lived there, he thrived there, he danced there, he died there. That's the difference between him and most everyone else – Vincent knew painting would not be good for him, so he ran after it hungrily and let it devour him. I can only stand back and look at him in wide-eyed wonder. In his life he sold only one painting. In a way that is just so, so perfect. Ahhhh, Vincent. * 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 *

This print has black cross-hatching combined with red to create a striking energy. * Artist: Ed MosesSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Vidal Trac"Medium: Lithograph on paperSize: 33" x 24.25"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. *

His subjects are classically posed, dramatically lit, and surrounded by conflated fragments from the history of painting, such as bubbles, glass bottles, drapery, vegetables lifted from the still-life table, and vague empty settings to better project the subject of the picture. In the end, however, the entire world and inner life of his subjects derive completely from his imagination. * Retrieved from: http://rogallery.com/Condo/Condo-bio.html

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. *

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.

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 *

This art print has a cross hatched pattern. * Artist: Ed MosesSignature: Signed by the artistTitle: "Eloi Vador"Medium: Etching on paperSize: 30" x 22.5"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. *
