No outlet?


"Sidewalk", unknown artist, 6" x 4", Artist Proof, linocut on paper 

This was a $.25 thrift shop find. It was framed in a generic oak frame and the backing material showed lots of paint and ink stains,like it been lying on an artist's work table. Guessing the artist recycled an 8x10 frame and mat for this piece. It is marked "AP", for artist proof, titled and illegibly signed, verso. I am more hopeful that someone will recognize the print than the signature. I think I have seen this print before. The signature looks something like "G Anl...e"?



Inscription, verso


Enlarged signature

  1. I couldn't find the artist but I wonder if the last name might be Araby. Is it signed in the print?

    1. Good guess, David. Nope it is only signed as shown in the images. Frustrating, eh?
