Paul Bisson (b. 1938) - Artist's Proof Etching with Aquatint The Wharf

Description

A highly detailed and well observed view of a harbour by the well listed British 20th century artist Paul Bisson. Bisson's attention to detail is superb and the resulting composition offers the viewer an intimate narrative of the harbour history. Seemingly unpopulated, the rickety old wooden dock protrudes out of the sea, and looks to be out of favour. Executed in etching with aquatint, numbered Artist Proof 20/35. Well presented in a cream double mount and modern silvered frame. Signed. On wove.

Condition

In fine condition.

Size

37 x 51cm (14.6" x 20.1")

Artist Biography

Paul Bisson was a Guernsey born artist who studied at St. Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy. This is an excellent example of the etching and aquatints that Bisson produced later in his career when living in Hastings. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK and internationally.
