I am often awestruck by the site of the moon. Especially when I go outside, and a full moon is coming up close to the horizon, or when wispy clouds glide past it. Breathtaking! This is a limited edition, printed with oil-based inks, from a limestone slab on archival Stonehenge paper. Print area is about 7.5 x 5.5 inches, paper measures 15 x 11 inches. Each print is signed by the artist, numbered and is an original and unique piece of art. Lithography was invented in the late 18th century. It became a popular medium used by poster artists Chéret and Toulouse-Lautrec, and later by 20th century artists including Chagall, Matisse, and Picasso. The image is drawn on a porous surface, normally limestone, with a greasy litho crayon. Acid is applied, transferring the grease to the limestone, leaving the image ‘burned’ into the surface. A solution of gum arabic in water is applied, staying only on the surface not covered in grease-based residue of the drawing; oil-based ink is applied with a roller covering the entire surface; since water repels the oil in the ink, the ink adheres only to the greasy parts, perfectly inking the image. A sheet of damp paper is placed on the surface, and the image is transferred to the paper by the pressure of the printing press. Lithography is known for its ability to capture fine gradations in shading and very small detail.
