This is a fantastic original limited edition etching and aquatint by listed Belgian-American artist Annette Robyns (1926-2008). Robyns studied painting in Paris under the renowned Modernist Fernand Léger before moving to Los Angeles, where she became an accomplished artist, printmaker, gallery owner, and instructor. Her work is known for its bold Modernist compositions and exceptional printmaking.
Titled "Calgary" (appears to read "Calgary" in pencil), this striking abstract composition combines geometric forms, intricate patterned surfaces, and expressive linear elements in rich shades of plum and violet. The unusual irregular plate shape and layered textures create a dynamic composition with remarkable depth and visual interest. Printed on Arches paper with a strong plate impression, this is an original limited edition etching and aquatint, not a reproduction.
The work is pencil signed, titled, and numbered 5/50 in the lower margin.
Condition: Good vintage condition. There is some light handling wear, minor waviness to the sheet, and a few faint marks in the margins consistent with age and storage. The image itself presents beautifully. Please review all photographs
Measurements: Plate mark is approx 18" x 15.5". Paper measures approx 26" x 22.25"
About the Artist: Annette Robyns was born in New York on February 8, 1914. Robyns (neé Annette Robyns Rabinowitz) studied at the New York School of Industrial Art and continued in Paris with Fernand Leger. In the 1940s she settled in Los Angeles and obtained her M.A. degree at California State University. After her marriage to actor Donald Elson in 1961, she established the Robyns-Elson Gallery where she sold her works as well as those of other modernists. She exhibited with the Laguna Beach and Westwood Art Associations. Mrs. Elson died in Los Angeles on January 21, 1994. (Source: Edan Hughes)
