"#BruceDavid’s magnum opus is a #psychedelic #lithograph depicting practically the entire #Torah. Over eight months, #David filled it with a plethora of hidden symbols: If you look closely, you can see #Joshua blowing a #shofar, which hugs the #Israeliflag. Squint even more and you’ll notice Joshua’s face is the flared end of an even bigger shofar that encompasses the #TenCommandments, a shofar made up of dozens of small people, seven of whom hold flames as if making a human #menorah.
To understand every hidden image in just this one #painting would take more words than I have space for. David gave me the “short version” of the piece’s story on Zoom — it still took six minutes.
Although David has now spent decades making #Jewish #art — #prints, #mosaics, #stainedglass and #metalworks — and exhibiting it across the country, it wasn’t what he had anticipated doing with his life."

I may have linked to it already at some point, but I really love this set of Stempenyu book illustrations by Anatoly Kaplan, which I was lucky to find an old Soviet bilingual edition at a used bookstore here years ago.

...but Nan Lurie's 1937 lithograph "Technological Improvements" offers a more critical understanding of industry, race, and place in the USA.
"New Deal Art" explains how the administration of the Federal Art Project Graphic Arts Division offered artists like Lurie a degree of freedom in exploiting the radical possibilities of the print as a medium.

Vue de l'Aiguade du Cap.ne Cook, à Houahoua, [View of the watering place of Captain Cook, at Houahoua (Uawa – Tolaga Bay)], 1833
lithograph 325 x 495 mm - The Astrolabe entered Tolaga Bay in early February, and was of much interest to local Māori. Many waka came to view the boat and the crew were pleased to replenish supplies there. Officers went ashore to make observations, as did de Sainson and the naturalist. D'Urville made an interesting observation regarding the nam...

"Cover for Love," Maurice Denis, 1898.
Denis (1870-1943) was first a member of the Nabis, then later a Symbolist, then later a Neo-Classicist, and his writings were a huge influence on Cubism and other modern art movements. A deeply religious man, he founded (after WWI) an artists' collective dedicated to decorating churches, designing stained glass windows, and producing sacred art.
In the 1890s, though, he was all about decorative art. This piece is the cover to a book of lithographs that tell an ambiguous tale of a woman's experiences with love...but it's hard to tell if she's falling in love with a man, or with Nature, or with her faith. The images are all soft and dreamlike, anc contain snatches of poetry, but the quotes do not correspond to the scenes depicted.
Between the wars, he also became a noted muralist, doing many murals in public buildings around his favorite themes, his faith and his belief in peace and humanism. He was a fervent anti-Nazi, and rejected France's Vichy government. It took an automobile accident to take him down; he was seemingly unstoppable.
He's not a familiar name, but he was an important figure in the development of modern art.

By Raphael Soyer (1899-1987), Mother And Child, 1969, lithograph, Image: 42.2 × 27 cm (16 5/8 × 10 11/16 in). As an original print, it appears in many collections, both public and private. #arthistory #printmaking #lithography #lithograph #Art
From Virginia M. Mecklenburg Modern American Realism: The Sara Roby Foundation Collection (Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press for the National Museum of American Art, 1987): ‘Raphael Soyer was a painter, draughtsman, and printmaker who believed that "if art is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate." From an early age Soyer and his brothers Moses and Isaac were encouraged to draw by their father, a teacher of Hebrew literature and history. Forced to leave Russia in 1912, they immigrated to the United States and settled in Brooklyn. In the mid 1920s, having studied at Cooper Union, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Soyer painted scenes of life on New York's east side. His portrayals of derelicts, working people, and the unemployed around Union Square during the Depression reveal more of a poignant vision of the human condition than the art of social protest popular with many of his contemporaries. Throughout his life Soyer painted people—his friends, himself, studio models—with an unerring eye for intimacy and mood.’

Today Nazareth is the largest city in the Northern district if what is now called Israel. Bible scholars also consider Nazareth to have been the likeliest birthplace of Jesus.
Maybe another #duotone or maybe pure brown #lithograph (there’s some black in there, though)
#GIMP made quick work of this one, printed on smoother calendered paper in 1894.

"Secession XIV, Beethoven," Alfred Roller, 1902.
Roller (1864-1935) was an Austrian painter, graphic designer, and set designer, who was (very obviously) a founding member of the Vienna Secession, which gave us the Art Nouveau style.
Roller was very active early in his career as a graphic designer, as we have here in this lithograph, advertising the 14th Vienna Secession exhibition that celebrated Beethoven. This is classic Vienna Secession...the stylized figure, the embrace of two dimensions, the collage-like treatment of different parts of the image, as simple areas of pattern. It's genuinely lovely and makes me sentimental for advertising like this.
Roller would later go on to design sets for operas conducted by his friend, the composer Gustav Mahler. He ended up becoming the chief designer of the Vienna State Opera.
From the Leopold Museum, Vienna.

The beautiful Toolache Wallaby ( macropus greyi) , as illustrated by Henry Constantine Richter in John Gould's "Mammals of Australia", published between 1845 and 1863.
This wallaby was to be found in South Australia and Victoria. The last sighting in the wild took place in 1924, and the last Toolache Wallaby in captivity died in 1939.

"Tête á Tête on the 968th Floor of a Skyscraper," Moriz Jung, 1911.
Jung (1885-1915) was an Austrian artist, graphic designer, and caricaturist best known for his work with the Wiener Werkstätte, a Viennese art and design collective.
Noted for his satirical flair, he had quite a few illustrations published in various magazines, and also a lot of humorous postcards like this one, which pokes fun at the stylish fad for aviation.
I've written about the Wiener Werkstätte before; their output is fascinating and their work a forerunner of the Bauhaus and the Art Deco movement. Postcards were the lest pricy or luxurious of their output, but images like there were popular.
Jung's career, though prolific, was brief. He was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army in 1914, and was killed in action near the village of Łubne, in modern-day Poland, as part of the Carpathian Battle.
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Delighted to have acquired this Eric Ravilious original lithograph from a book from 1938. It's not signed but still...it's lovely. It will be taking pride of place somewhere in the house.
It's called Model Ships.
