Original Numbered and Pencil Signed Surrealist Lithographic Work by Andre Daffon

About the Item

This hand-colored lithographic work by French surrealist artist Andre Daffon is from the 20th century. The surrealist movement created in its own way as much controversy as the Cubist works a decade and a half earlier by Picasso and Braque. More concerned with politics and social themes then necessarily new techniques. The movement was based mostly in France and centered in Paris but held sway over an international group of artists and writers as well as set decorators and fashion designers. Filled with dreams, poetry, and madcap absurdity the group was led by such notables as Andre Breton, Dali, and Max Ernst. Daffon known as a master of liner composition and a certain cool clean quite perspective shows in this work done in the '80s an aggressive chaotic line and is also unusual for its vibrant and intense color. The work is framed in a period vintage frame and has just been re-matted in an equally vibrant mat. The work is numbered and pencil signed on full margins Condition Disclosure: While we do our best to carefully inspect and give a full report on the condition of any item we sell, pointing out any repairs or alterations that may have been done to the best of our knowledge, as is the case with any antique and vintage item, there is a possibility that at some point in the life of the piece that there may have been damaged which has been professionally repaired and as such a repair undetectable, it is therefore impossible for us to disclose... we recommend that you also read and agree to the 1st dibs user agreement, particularly sections 9,13,15,18,19 and 27

Andre Derain Etching signed in pencil
By Andre Darin
Located in Hudson, NY
Andre Derain was born in Chatou France in 1880. He met Matisse early in his life but was conscripted into the French army in 1901. After his service and when released Matisse convinced his parents to allow him to stop training as an engineering student to develop his artistic talents. He devoted himself full time to painting and attended the Academie Julian. He developed his early important style with close friends Maurice de Vlaminck and Henri Matisse. This became known as Fauvism and helped to usher in the other modern movements in art throughout the 20th century. The notable art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to work on a series of city-themed paintings that cemented his career as an important world-class artist. In 1907 his entire studios...

Gene Davis Pencil Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Exhibition Poster
By Gene Davis
Located in Hudson, NY
This poster for an exhibition undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution and was produced as a Resident Associates Program Exhibit for the organizations 10th anniversary. The work is pencil signed and numbered 80 of 200. Davis was born in Washington DC in 1920 and died in the city he gave so much to in 1985. A major 20th-century figure in American painting Davis's contributions to Washington were invaluable in helping to establish DC as a center for contemporary art. Davis is also recognized as a prime mover in the national and international Color Abstract Movement and his ascendance to prominence started in the 1960s. He was never formally trained and learned his craft by constant gallery and museum visits and later said that this lack of boundaries from education freed him from any limitation on his work or process. Davis worked within the loosely formed Washington color school of painters which included other artists like Kenneth Nolan...
