Image Size: 59 x 85

Frame Size: [UNFRAMED]

Signature Details: Editioned, Titled, Signed And Dated Lower Margin (Work Of Art Illustrated Is A Representative Work From The Edition. Any Number From The Edition May Be Supplied.)

Condition: Good Paying Homage To The Old Masters, Graeme Peebles' Mezzotints Reinterpret The Genre Of Still Life Through A Dark, Surrealist Prism. The Overall Richness Of Detail, The Contrasting Chiaroscuro And Impenetrable Blackness Of The Backgrounds Demonstrate The Artist'S Mastery Over Mezzotints - A Notoriously Difficult, Complex And Laborious Printmaking Technique. Indeed, Peebles Has Earnt International Acclaim For This Work In The Field. 'Get Out The Bath, Proust!' Is A Spellbinding Image. It Exemplifies Great Restraint, Existing Only As A Serious Of Strange Objects, Dwarfed By A Velveteen Backdrop. Chess Pieces, Sliced Peach, Peas And Other Homely Apparatus Are Rendered Mysterious, Bewitching, Symbolic. Peebles' Mezzotints Are A Desirable -- And Dramatic -- Addition To The Collections Of Emerging And Established Connoisseurs Of Graphics Alike.'
