I was lucky enough to recently acquire an estate collection of prints by important American printmaker Walter Buttrick. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This is one of my favorites of the collection. A wonderful architectural view of many of the buildings in Brooklyn, NY. This is a 15 color reduction linocut with the image measuring 23 1/2 x 18 inches on complete original sheet measuring 30 x 22 inches. Signed, titled, and numbered in pencil below the image. Image is in fantastic as printed condition. A slight smudge to the lower margin done most likely by the artist during printing. Minor rippling and small handling creases to the margins but nothing that wouldnt disappear with proper framing. Unframed. Really just a superior example of the artist's work. If you collect the artist's work or have recently discovered it like I have, check my store for the others I am offering.

For those not familiar with the artist, his biography from a gallery that sells his art reads: "Walter Buttrick was born outside of Boston, MA. He graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston with concentration in painting and printmaking and further studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. Professionally, Walter worked in the point of purchase display industry with a number of designs and patents to his credit. Additionally, he is a retired veteran with a career as an Army officer. As a printmaker, he has exhibited throughout the USA. His work is in the Connecticut Historical Society and in private collections in Europe, New Zealand and the USA. From his studio in Norwalk, CT, Walter has generated a volume of etchings, dry points, wood engravings and linoleum block prints, typically pushing the limits of each technique. He is a member of the Boston Printmakers, the Society of American Graphic Artists, the Albany Print Club and the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, Connecticut." See less
