Description |
This black and white portrait features one dominant figure, a very skinny and balding African American man sipping from a bowl. The hands are very large in relation to the figure. He wears a white tank top and rests his elbows on a table. He has an old, poor, and hungry appearance. There are small, dark marks on and around the table at the BR and the BL of the composition. Shading is done in combination of cross-hatching and shading. At BLC in pencil, "31/56 MAIN ST. MISSION" and embossed printer's mark. At BRC in pencil, "Pajaud '70" Edition #: 31/56 On verso: "This Lithograph is limited to 56 impressions of which this is number 31. It is an original work of the artist, not a reproduction. It is drawn on a plate by the artist and printed directly from his work, under his personal direction. This method, the most responsive of the graphic arts, is completely autographic, exactly duplicating the work the artist has drawn. The embossed "k" is the printer's mark. It indicates the approval of his work, guarantees the edition is limited as indicated and that the print is registered. Title: Main Street Mission. Artist: William Pajaud. Register No.: 2015. Heritage Gallery Publishers. 1970. Los Angeles." |
