Still Life With Pears- photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

Over the years I have often turned to the genre of still life when I am wanting to make work and be alone with my thoughts. These pears were brought home by my kids after having visited a farm belonging to a family friend.  I was thinking about my children on fathers day yesterday and remembered this negative from 21 years ago. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black, raw sepia, and warm sepia inks with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 6 numbered prints and  2 A/P prints.  Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 7 8 x 10 inches on an 15.5 x 20 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
