I posted on the Canadian artist Mary Wrinch two years ago, and and although I have nothing much to add, I did come across Green and gold (above) some while back on Bill Carl's site and think it's about time I put this irresistible little linocut up on the blog. If in common with so much Canadian printmaking of the period, style wins out over subject, I can still forgive her. The blues and golds would be enough to win me over, but really the surface textures convince me that she really could come up with the goods. I don't know how much it is, but I think it's still for sale.
Also from Bill Carl, this other one, in similar vein, but a more conventional landscape, just about. For blue trees were a convention by the thirties though I'm not so sure about pink ones. This one may also be from Bill Carl. The final print isn't but is still up for sale on ebay in Canada. Not in a style I admire nearly half as much, for US$650, it might be yours. My thanks as ever to William P Carl Fine Prints.
Lovely. Not so much a pink tree as a red maple in autumn in a certain light. She is Canadian after all.
ReplyDeleteWell, Karen, I admit I didn't think of maple. And certainly not strawberry maple.
DeleteCharles,
ReplyDelete"Green and Gold" and "Falling Leaves" are wonderful prints, indeed! "Reflections" is one of my favourites, too. Unfortunately, all three are not for sale at the moment as far as I know.

And Klaus, your knowledge of printmakers never ceases to take me by surprise. I have a photo of one of the most fastidious of your favourites to post soon.
ReplyDeleteCharles,
ReplyDeleteyou are making my mouth water! And as far as knowledge of printmakers is concerned: I have learned a lot from you!
Klaus
It's my job, as they say. But it's only the response of readers, either here or by e mail, that moves the blog forward.
