The layered acrylic that the artist titled verbally as 'Aspen' is signed and dated lower left and verso on the canvas.

In the late 1970s and early '80s, more than a decade before earning her bachelor's degree at the Kansas City Art Institute, Suzanne Pipkin laid to canvas a series of complex works inspired by the energy, color and motion she experienced in her mind's eye when viewing certain objects. Of translating these sensations to canvas she said, 'When I would start one of my layered acrylic paintings, I had no preconceived idea of the end result. I was in the process of experimentation from the very beginning. It began with a single color, which led me to another -

and I was in the zone. As I worked, I was constantly looking to see that the colors were connecting and giving energy to each other, and the overall piece. It was so exciting to see it evolve.'

Overall framed size measures 36.5 x 38.75 inches.

In addition to farming, carpentry, fishing, and the thousand and one odd jobs which everybody does who lives in Chilmark, Gale plays the guitar and sings the songs of the whalers and old-time fishermen of the Island.

9399 :: LEON LOUGHRIDGE (B. 1952) COLOR REDUCTION

WOODBLOCK

'Field of Flowers' (Late 20th/Early 21st Century)

More than just a color woodcut print, this detailed image composed using multiple textures and colors is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right, titled lower center and numbered 1 from an edition of only 13 prints lower left.

The traditional, most often seen, color woodblock prints are made by carving multiple blocks that, when inked separately and pressed to paper one color at a time, create the final image, a difficult enough process. With reduction color woodcut prints a single block is carved in relief to create the image and then the colors are printed in reverse order, the darkest color being printed first and the lightest color being printed last, while also carving away and altering the face of the block with each color printed. This requires a high degree of skill and confidence on the part of the artist who must know instinctually how carving away part of the printing block in between colors will ultimately appear in ink on paper.

Leon Loughridge explained in an interview with Western Art & Architecture Magazine how when creating an image, he's continually carving and changing the block along with the colors; always assessing and evaluating as he goes, adding more and more detail by reducing and changing the block, continually pressing inks; more and more color, sometimes implementing 15 to 20 color runs - and carvings, in order to create a single image. As he cuts away portions of the block, he's committed to the image that results. Knowing how it will play out and trusting his skills are paramount to creating what it is he wants to capture or convey.

Other masters of the reduction woodcut process include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Kathe Kollwitz.

Image measures 7.5 x 7.5 with a framed size of 17.5 x 17.5 inches.

'Valley of the Wisconsin'

The lithograph from an edition of 250 prints published by Associated American Artists is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled verso by the original AAA publisher's label.

The Associated American Artists was founded by Reeves Lewenthal in 1934 with the idea of bringing art by prominent American artists into the homes of everyday people at a time when original artwork was out of reach for many. The model proved to be a win-win situation that lasted for more than 60 years. It allowed artists to earn income at a time when many were struggling due to the economic hardships of the Great Depression, while also providing the general public with affordable access to art. The concept also made the arts more inclusive overall during a challenging period in American history.

Image measures 11.75 x 15.25, sheet is 13.5 x 17.5, and frame is 17 x 20.75 inches.

Considerable toning and mat burn as shown, the print is fastened to the acid mat with brown paper tape.

2. Image of boy's fantasy with vintage tin toys 1 from an edition of 100 prints and signed by the artist in pencil on the image lower right.

From the artist's web site: 'My work consists of altered images created by combining media,objects, and pictures in a photographic format. My work tends towards the narrative with magic realism and fantasy. Symbolism, misplaced objects shifts of scale and anthropomorphism come together to tell stories. I intersperse images of my children and meticulously constructed miniature sets to suggest a sense of wonder. Some pieces are handcolored or sepia toned with oil-based media to evoke nostalgia. All pieces are limited edition, signed, numbered, and dated and are

available framed or unframed with a mat. Media is water based on archival fine art paper.'

Retiff/Salzer report that, 'Both a pencil drawing and a painting exist of this subject. Associated American Artists published the print. A few impressions were printed by the artist and are signed and dated in the plate mark lower left. The AAA impressions do not have that in the plate mark.'

Nesbitt tells the following about this etching, 'I got this picture from a sketching trip. I took to Arkansas in 1940 with Thomas Hart Benton, Lewis Bogart, Bill McKim, Earl Bennett and Bud Glenn. We all drove down in Tom Benton's car and for 10 days we paired off and went sketching all along the countryside. It rained half of the time, but that didn't stop us any. Bud Glenn's the figure on the bridge.'

2. November Evening, 1946 etching from an edition of 250 prints published by Associated American Artists was illustrated in PRIZE PRINTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY published in 1949 by Albert Reese and is signed by the Nesbitt in pencil below the image lower right, with title in pencil lower left.

Nesbitt comments on November Evening, 'Benton and I were sketching along this Arkansas road when this old guy rode by. He mistook us for surveyors and allowed as how this road could use some fixing. I also did a painting of this subject, which was accepted into the Artists for Victory exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The Met sent me a check for $250 but no explanation as to whether it sold to a private individual or was kept as part of their permanent collection. The print is illustrated in American Prints in the Library of Congress. It is also featured in Albert Reese's American Prize Prints of the 20th Century. It was awarded the prize in 1946 by the Society of American etchers as well as a purchase prize from the library of Congress.'
