Swans (The Family Outing)
Lithograph, 1937, edition 75. 9 3/4 x 8 in. Signed and dated with printed letters and numbers. Numbered in pencil. Here we have a fine impression of this uncommon print. The margins are wide and the condition is very good. There are old adhesive stains in the margins not near the image. The edition was printed by George Miller in New York. Buff was born in Switzerland and moved the the US at the age of nineteen. He moved to Los Angeles and became good friends with Maynard Dixon, the celebrated painter. Buff was best known as a painter of landscapes but he also produced a fine group of lithographs. Swans is an exceptional print and the subject is uncommon for him. This print was supposedly published by the American Artist's Group but given the rarity of it, that may not be the case. We sold an impression many years ago that was also numbered. An impression is in the National Gallery and the Amon Carter Museum. Ex-collection: Reba Williams, New York.
