Fives<\/em>, Monotype, 15×14, Click on images for larger view<\/h6>\n

The long anticipated show is upon us and you’re all invited. The Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, California is a prestigious event that’s been going on for 75 years. Every year hundreds of artists compete for a place to show and only a few new ones are accepted. After years of both of us applying, this year Anne was accepted. It’s about time they saw the light, says me. But the judges change every year and from one time to the next one can be “almost in” to “not even considered.” (Sounds like life.) But we’ll take this: Anne is in. She’ll now have a “full time job” for the summer putting in hours, and if things sell, producing new work. Show details follow at end of this blog. Anne’s hours will vary. We know she’ll be there Mondays, being the printmaking demonstrator that day, and weekends. Other than that, call her for times when you might see her there (phone below), or come any time.<\/p>\n

Another Paradigm Shift<\/em>, Monotype, 18×24<\/h6>\n

Shown here are five of the pieces Anne is displaying at the outset of the festival. Of course they’re much, much better in person, at full size, and in their large frames with spacious white, double thick, beveled mats. Nor do these representations give the comparative sizes. Take it from me, every one of them is extremely beautiful, exquisite in detail, inspired in design, and marvelously crafted. (And I’d say the same even if didn’t derive every other happiness from the artist as well.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Holding to the Promise<\/em>, Monotype, 19.5×14<\/h6>\n

We’ve attempted to explain many times in these e-galleries the mystery of making monotypes. At this point, maybe it’s just best left as mystery. “Mono,” as you’ll remember, means one.<\/em> Consequently, while they’re called “prints,” as indeed they are, they are not reproductions of some other original. They are originals. And there is only one of each. Thus you’ll see at the bottom of each piece the title and the numbers 1\/1. That is, each is the first print of an edition that has only one in it. Compare, for example, my Last Supper with Twelves Tribes<\/em>. The giclee print on paper is now up to 197\/550, with the original not for sale at all. So Anne’s monotypes are completely one-of-a-kind, and there’s no other one like them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Continuing the Quest<\/em>, Monotype, 16×12.5<\/h6>\n

Also, as we’ve explained before, Anne’s monotypes are an evolution out of her earlier linocut prints<\/a>. These are reproducible, and remain popular. So Anne will have some of these available for viewing (and sale) at her booth. She will also have more monotypes, not framed, but shrink wrapped and ready for however the collector wants to frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reigning Vestment<\/em>, Monotype, 15×10<\/h6>\n

A lot of times, Anne will pick up some oriental motif or Asian calligraphy and integrate it into her designs. Most of the time there’s no communication intended, except the visual appeal. They just make such beautiful shapes. She’ll sometimes do the same with Arabic numerals. They’re design additions, and part of the apparent randomness that often constitutes the most inspired creation.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I look at Anne’s work and think, “This is so great, it should be huge.” So, with permission from the artist, I use one of her pieces as point of departure for another. They come out different, being in a different medium, not to mention size. But any similarities are intended. Above, Anne poses between prints in her Festival of the Arts booth, and in another photo I lean against a friend’s wall where my larger take on the same image hangs and defines the entrance.
