Item Description

Not just every work of art promises "Love & Compassion" - but, then, there's only one Edna Hibel!

With this prize, you bring home a profusion of petals, in happy hues to match almost any decor. Bright blossoms are set off against a delicate background, all in a gold-toned frame to add a touch of elegance to your home. In its frame, your work of art measures 15 1/2 x 13 1/2".

"Quelque Fleurs" is part of the Edna Hibel Laurels Collection, the most popular group of limited-edition framed reproductions of Mrs. Hibel's paintings ever offered. Your prize comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

If you think there's something extra-special about "Quelque Fleurs," you're right: Edna Hibel is an artist of distinction! Lithography is especially suited to her draftsmanship and exquisite control over "the line." She innovated in creating works with up to 32 stones (or colors) on paper, silk, wood veneer. With both lithographs on paper and on other materials, she often segments her editions of lithographs by colors, papers or the use of gold.

Famed as much for her humanitarianism as for her art, Edna Hibel has been referred to as America's best loved and most versatile artist, and best colorist.

Mrs. Hibel's work has been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries in more than 20 countries on four continents, including national museums in Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Russia and the U.S.A., and under the royal patronage of Count and Countess Bernadotte of Germany, Count Thor Bonde of Sweden, Prince and the late Princess Rainier of Monaco and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Hibel received medals of honor from Pope John Paul II and the late Belgian King Baudouin, and has received six honorary Doctorate degrees. In addition to her numerous artistic awards, Edna Hibel has received many humanitarian honors for her more than one half century in raising donations with her work for children's and medical charities. She has also used her humanistic and compassionate work to bring peace through cultural understanding between China and the United States, Yugoslavia and the United States and Russia and the United States with her "Golden Bridge" and " Peace Through Wisdom" exhibits in those countries.

Bring beauty and joy into your home with "Quelque Fleurs" - a little bit of "Love & Compassion in Fine Art!"
