This is a unique print, entitled "Composition". It is a fine example of Zevon's process, combining multiple printing techniques to achieve a subtle dimensionality. The sheet size measures 9 ¼” x 12 ¾”, with the actual image size being 7 ¼” x 9 ¾”. On the bottom left is written the edition # 3/15, and the piece is signed on the bottom right “Irene Zevon 1959”. The work is in excellent condition, and is offered unframed. Irene Zevon was born in 1918, in East New York, Brooklyn, the first child of a family of working class immigrants from the Ukraine. She began her career in art in 1953. She studied with Nahum Tschacbasov in New York City and Woodstock, New York, and they eventually married in 1966, living seasonally in Amagansett and East Hampton; and year-round in their loft-like apartment at the Hotel Chelsea w they became a part of the Chelsea art scene. Zevon resided and had a studio for fifty years t, until her death in 2006. Zevon worked in a modernistic, lyrical abstract-figurative style in the mediums of oil and acrylic painting, linoleum block prints and monotype prints. Following her introduction to intaglio printmaking, she developed a unique process which combined lino and woodcuts with stencils and monotypes by which three or more of these surface-printing techniques were used in non-traditional combinations.
