For Vincent

Lino Cut Print
I have appropriated van Goghs chair to pay homage to a great painter. Using the reduction method I have endeavoured to capture his image in an unique form.

Ah! The chairiness of chairs. When I participated in the Art Teachers Conversion Course, through East Sydney Tech, in the late 60s / early 70s, one of the teachers / lecturers was so very keen on talking about THAT chairas the chairiness of chairs.
Funny how these things stick!
Leith O'Malley, about 1 year ago

I’m a bit of a Vincent tragic so this really hit the right note for me.
Nice work!
Marilyn Brown, about 1 year ago

Thanks for your comments. I always thought of this chair as being a bit of a self portrait of Vincent.

when i was in new york at the Moma i found a Vincent tucked away right in the corner.. like u had to work hard to even notice it was there.. and i thought ‘yeh, thats so Vincent’

“I always thought of this chair as being a bit of a self portrait of Vincent.” – sigh… awesome

hi mbartworks, fanatastic lino cut! what a fab interpretation…i recall dabbling in printmaking mostly etching on zinc plates but lino cuts are tough…you’re a very talented gal:) colours are gorgeous too.

i went to the van gogh museum in amsterdam late last year (& as cliched as is may sound) i was blown away by all his paintings on several levels, seeing a huge collection of his work just damn amazing is all i can say…& his lesser known paintings are just divine too.
Ange, about 1 year ago

...meant copper plates above (& who knows what other materials i etched on!) for printing…but yeah, great work.
Marilyn Brown, about 1 year ago

Thanks Ange, I too went to the van Gogh museum in 2004. It’s amazing how profilic he was!
I think you’ll find that there are many,many surfaces you can etch onto.

Thank you very very much for your thoughtful comments.
