On offer, we have a lithograph by famous Mexican artist Angel Bracho. This is a mountain landscape signed in pencil on the lower right. The print measures 13 1/2" X 20". In its black wood frame this is 20 1/2" X 25 1/2" X 1 1/2" and weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces.
About the artist: "Ángel Bracho (February 14, 1911 – February 1, 2005) was a Mexican engraver and painter who is best known for his politically themed work associated with the Taller de Gráfica Popular; however he painted a number of notable murals as well. Bracho was from a lower-class family and worked a number of menial jobs before taking night classes for workers at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas. Even though he had only four years of primary school, he then studied as a full-time student at the university. His art career began working with Diego Rivera on the painting of the Abelardo L. Rodríguez market in Mexico City. He was a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, making posters that would become characteristic of the group. His graphic design work is simple, clean and fine dealing with themes related to social struggles with farm workers, laborers and Mexican landscapes.". (Wikipedia)
The print is in excellent condition. It is bold, clean and clear with a strong signature. It has a line in the clouds on the top left. The old matte has water damage. There are light scratches in the black painted frame. The paper on the back is brittle and torn. This has not been inspected out of the frame. As I am not an expert on art, please see my photographs for more description.
This is from my friend who collects everything and is starting to part with a few of his treasures.
I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping when possible.
