{"title":"Painterly Prints","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt may be hard to fathom today, but once upon a time prints were monochromatic. When the first generation of Western printmakers challenged themselves to create etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts in color, their efforts were at first viewed with disdain by many. Japanese woodcuts, which had been printed in color for hundreds of years by then, showed artists the way. This revolution was particularly hard-fought for intaglio: etching, aquatint, drypoint, and assorted copper-plate techniques. Etching was regarded mostly as a “graphic” art, from the ancient Greek, γράφειν: to write. The expectation was that the graphic artist was to render his vision in line or grayscale only. Color was for painting. Yet many printmakers forged ahead, threw caution to the wind, pushed the envelope. This selection is an ode to those works of art: painterly etchings.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-patineuse","title":"The Skater","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLa Patineuse\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e(original French title)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor aquatint and soft-ground etching printed in color on thick wove paper.

In 1899 and beyond, just 18 years old, he created beautiful color aquatints with soft-ground etching outlines. Subject matters centered around the river Loing, just south of the forest of Fontainebleau, where Bernard and his brother spent a lot of time with his paternal family. In his prints barges progress slowly on the river or lazily wait for the next leg of the journey. The people who populated this artery of early 20th century commerce also feature prominently. In these early prints Bernard Boutet de Monvel also depicted older sitters, which he clearly respected and admired. These portraits of old women and men are elegant and delicate, created with great care of color and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOUTET DE MONVEL, Bernard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43551545852140,"sku":"","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2654\/1544\/products\/BernardBoutetdeMonvel-LaVieille-detail.jpg?v=1670626353"},{"product_id":"the-paris-grand-prix","title":"The Paris Grand Prix","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLe Grand-Prix de Paris\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (original French title)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eColor etching, aquatint, and drypoint printed on simili-japon paper, 1906.\u003cbr\u003eRef: Delteil 74.\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 200 but having become extremely scarce due to its very large size.\u003cbr\u003eThis print was created at a time when the artist’s mastery of color etching was at its best.
