ONE OF "12 FROM TEXAS - A PORTFOLIO OF LITHOGRAPHS - SOUTHWEST ARTIST SERIES NUMBER ONE" CURATED BY JERRY BYWATERS IN 1952 AS DIRECTOR, DALLAS MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, AND PUBLISHED BY SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY PRESS. THE OTHER 11 ARE BEING OFFERED FOR SALE INDIVIDUALLY. THE SET IS NUMBER 19 OF 525, 450 OF WHICH WERE OFFERED FOR SALE. EXCERPTS FROM BYWATERS' FOREWORD (A COMPLETE COPY OF WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED): "THIS FIRST PORTFOLIO IS LIMITED TO EXAMPLES OF LITHOGRAPHS AND IS PURPOSELY SOMEWHAT HISTORICAL AND TOPICAL. E.G. EISENLOHR WAS AMONG THE FIRST OF "CONTEMPORARY" TEXAS ARTISTS TO USE LITHOGRAPHS; MAUZEY, HOGUE, BOWLING AND BROWN WERE SOME OF THE FIRST ARTISTS TO OWN THEIR OWN LITHOGRAPHIC PRESSES AND PRODUCE THEIR OWN PRINTS. AT THE TIME THESE ARTISTS EXECUTED THEIR FIRST LITHOGRAPHS NO HANDPRESSES WERE AVAILABLE FOR 'ARTISTIC PRODUCTION,' AND DRAWINGS MADE ON STONES WERE SHIPPED TO NEW YORK (GEORGE MILLER), PHILADELPHIA (THEODORE CUNO), OR COLORADO SPRINGS (LAWRENCE BARRETT) FOR PRINTING. THIS CONDITION WAS CORRECTED BY THE LATE THIRTIES AS UNIVERSITY ART DEPARTMENTS EXPANDED AND ESTABLISHED GOOD PRINT DEPARTMENTS, AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS ACQUIRED THEIR OWN PRESSES." "AMONG LAYMEN THE TERM 'PRINT' IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD AND CONFUSED WITH REPRODUCTIONS MECHANICALLY MADE IN HUGE NUMBERS AND USED IN BOOKS OR MAGAZINES AS ILLUSTRATIONS. AN 'ORIGINAL' PRINT (IN THIS INSTANCE, A LITHOGRAPH) IS 'PULLED' OR PRINTED ON SPECIAL PAPER FROM STONE OR METAL ON WHICH THE ARTIST HAS DRAWN IN GREASE PENCIL. THE PRINTS ARE MADE BY THE ARTIST, OR UNDER HIS SUPERVISION, AND ARE LIMITED IN NUMBER USUALLY TO FEWER THAN ONE HUNDRED. SUCH ORIGINAL PRINTS ARE TITLED AND SIGNED BY THE ARTIST IN PENCIL, WITH THE NUMBER OF PRINTS IN THE EDITION USUALLY FOLLOWING THE TITLE. "THIS PORTFOLIO CONTAINS TWELVE FACSIMILE REPRODUCTIONS PRINTED BY MEANS OF PHOTO-MECHANICAL OFFSET LITHOGRAPHY. THE REPRODUCTIONS ARE APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SIZE AS THE ORIGINALS (ACTUAL SIZE OF ORIGINALS FOLLOWS THE TITLE IN THE LIST OF CONTENTS). "THE PORTFOLIOS ARE LIMITED IN NUMBER TO 525 COPIES OF WHICH 450 ARE FOR SALE. THIS IS COPY NUMBER 155." Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
