Description: ROBERT BATEMAN" Goshawk "Original Lithograph 290 signed and numbered by the artist 16" x 33.75" inches - image size MINT CONDITION "Robert Bateman - Goshawk - Accipiter gentilis" The goshawk is an aristocrat among raptors. In flight, the goshawk makes a zigzag pattern, which I have imitated in this composition with the shape of the tree trunk and the branches. Original printmaking allows an artist to capture a variety of textures - the gnarled bark of the tree, the goshawk's plumage, the pine needles - with equal gusto." Robert Bateman Original Lithograph - Goshawk - Robert Bateman ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Prints - Lithographs "The process of original printmaking apeals to me because it is a human process; it involves no complex optical equipment other than my own eyes. I believe that technology often separates us from nature, and I like the idea that my original prints are made by hand." Robert Bateman Original lithography is an art form ideally suited to the work of Robert Bateman, who appreciates the direct, hands-on involvement this process affords an artist.Comments Bateman, " In a world steeped in technology, I admire tradition and the old methods. There is a great pleasure in making something by handand in using skills that are hundreds of years old. "One of the reasons I enjoy printmaking is the broad range of tone and texture the process allows;I am often reminded of the old masters, particularly the etxhings of Rembrandt. I also enjoy drawing directly on the stone. It's 'tooth, 'or texture, gives a solid, warm feeling which brings to mind the ancient seas in which the rare Bavarian limestone was formed."THE CREATION OF ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHSSince the process of original lithography was first developed in 1798, many great artists have made memorable original lithographs in their own distinctive style. Among them is Robert Bateman, celebrated artist and naturalist known the world over.
