Item Description
George Deem (1932-2008): "Sienna Vermeer" limited-edition print.
If imitation is a sincere form of flattery, Mr. Deem'ÂÂA?s admiration of his artistic forebears was carried out on his own canvases. Gifted at reproduction, he concentrated on making explicit references to other painters and other paintings, uncannily recreating the style, the light, the brushstrokes as well as the details of artists he loved.
But in addition to the explicit references, there were always subtle or not so subtle alterations. By leaving out familiar elements or adding elements to known works, or reconfiguring components within them, he made his work a visual commentary on the history of painting, dating to the Renaissance. (New York Times Aug. 20, 2008)
Print is hand-signed and numbered by artist (155/300). Image with beige border is approximately 30" x 22"; actual image is approximately 21.5" x 18.5"
