This hand-signed, limited edition stone lithograph captures a tender moment—a young girl seated cross-legged on a tile floor, carefully arranging flowers in a vase. The artwork unfolds with a warm color palette, showcasing soothing shades of yellow and orange ochre.
Each of these lithographs is printed on high quality watermarked BFK Rives Printmaking paper and measures 25.5 x 19 inches. Notably, every print we have in stock is a rare Artist's Proof and signed in pencil by the artist. One of these is marked in red pen in the bottom right corner with the notation "Stone Litho, 7.50 each" (see product photos). This lithograph is being offered at a discounted price, but it's worth noting that this discreet marking will be covered when the print is matted and framed, ensuring an unblemished presentation.
Artist's proofs hold a unique and coveted status within the realm of serial lithographs. These proofs, typically marked "A.P." and numbered separately from the main edition, serve as a distinct subset of prints that the artist carefully examines before finalizing the edition. The rarity of artist's proofs lies in their limited availability, often comprising a small percentage of the total prints produced. Artists may use these proofs to assess the quality and nuances of the print, ensuring that the final edition meets their artistic standards. Collectors value artist's proofs for their connection to the artist's creative process and the assurance of a print's exceptional quality. Due to their limited quantity and the artist's direct involvement, artist's proofs stand as sought-after treasures among art enthusiasts and collectors, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the world of serial lithographs.
Frank Palmieri, a distinguished American Postwar & Contemporary painter, lived in Indialantic, Florida, for the last two decades of his life. Before his Florida residency, Palmieri established an art gallery and studio in Ogunquit, Maine, where he passionately created from 1967 to 1987. His artistic journey took shape at the Art Students League in Manhattan, where he studied under notable teachers, including Reginald Marsh, Ivan Olinsky, Robert Brackman, and Frank Reilly, courtesy of the G.I. Bill.
Exclusively working with oil, Palmieri's landscapes and seascapes graced locations in France, Italy, Mexico, and across the U.S. His accolades included the Robert Lehmann Award in 1963, which facilitated a year of study at the National Academy under Morton Roberts. A life member of esteemed artistic organizations such as the Art Students League in New York, Palmieri's memberships also extended to the Vero Beach Art Club, Salmagundi Club, Allied Artists, National Art League, Brevard Art Center & Museum, Artists Forum in Melbourne, FL, and the Spacecoast Art League in FL.
His dedication to the craft and his widespread recognition in various artistic circles solidified Palmieri's lasting impact on the contemporary art scene until his passing in 2017.
