The Venture - ELIZA D. GARDINER

Medium: woodcut printed in colors

ELIZA D. GARDINER
American, (1871-1955)

Woodcut printed in colors, undated (circa 1920), Not listed in Falk/Newport Art Museum; edition 40. 12 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. Signed and numbered in pencil. Here we have a fine impresion of this rare print. The margins are full and the condition is very good. (There's a small area of darkening in the lower right corner of the image and two old paper hinges on the left and right edges, center.) There's an inscription in the bottom margin stating "The Venture $ 15; 40 in the edition; 30 duplicates." This large print is a fine example of her work. Gardiner became a pupil of painter Charles H. Woodbury (1864–1940), who likely introduced her to etching. It was as a woodcut printmaker, however, that Gardiner emerged, exhibiting in Europe and the United States beginning in 1910. She was influenced by the color woodcuts of innovative printmaker Arthur Wesley Dow and by the Japanese prints that had inspired him. SHe studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and later taught there for three decades.      $2,000
