Artwork Description:

The dusk scene--based on graphite and ink drawings by the artist of a photo he shot in New Jersey--shows a decorated and snow covered lawn in southern New Jersey near Christmas time. This is a combination of etching and watercolor painting. Collage is also employed with a blue metallic paper sky. The frame size is about 12 inches high by 16 inches wide, and the zinc plate size measured 6 inches high by 9 inches wide. The actual print, or paper size, is about 11 inches high by 15 inches wide. The artist printed this edition on a Charles Brand pressmanufactured in New York City. All work was done at the Fleisher Art Memorial, a school associated with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was created as part of The Open Studio in PrintmakingCenter for Works on Paper, 705 Christian Street in Philadelphia. The work ships to the collector in a cardboard carton, and shipment costs are added. This specific narrative relates to several of Di Falcos cartoonistic paintings of the 1980s, which included his landmark Wonder Bread Family series.
