Item Description

 

The Gil Garcetti Fine Art Package includes 3 items:

 1.     Special Edition Fine Art Print Hand Signed by Gil Garcetti

One Special Edition Fine Art Print Hand Signed by Gil Garcetti titled "Chief's Hands and Baby's Feet." As explained by the artist: "Whenever one enters a rural village, it is customary to first pay one’s respect to the village chief. Depending on the circumstances, I might interview and photograph him. The chief in this village was an empathetic, generously spirited leader. When I asked if I could photograph him, he said, 'Yes,' and immediately lifted one of his grandsons to sit with him in the photograph. This particular photograph conveys to me much of what is West Africa: hope, gentleness, spirit, strength, and beauty."
