Stan WashburnThe Obscure Fable, by Stan Washburn1978
1978
About the Item
Signed, titled and numbered etching from the edition of 120. In individual prints, and in his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek wit. This image of a rhinoceros and a lamb, hints at an imaginary fable similar to the lion and the lamb.
Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works.
A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.
