Ramón Lombarte

Ramón Lombarte (f. 1956) Sunday; Eleven O'Clock P.M. (1990)
Artist Ramon Lombarte has captured the attention of many serious American art collectors and firmly established his market in Europe. In order to make his work to a greater audience, Lombarte began creating lithographs. True to his painting style, he personally draws the image on each stone to insure that his limited edition prints are his work and not that of another artist interpreting his images. Ramon Lombarte is so committed to quality and authenticity that, using antique lithographic presses with the assistance of a French master printer, he hand-pulls each piece of every edition.

New York Central Yard

Alfred Stieglitz (1864 - 1946), New York Central Yard, 1910. En fantastisk bild från en tid då rök och ånga ofta representerade framsteg och utveckling. Dagens impressionistiska bilder representerar ofta det avsiktligt destruktiva eller stora naturkatastrofer. Bildspråket har blivit näst intill outhärdligt. Eller så har bilderna tömts på allt sitt innehåll, de förefaller oss ofta totalt meningslösa. Men det kan vi återkomma till. Kommentera gärna.
