French Stone Lithograph by Bob Meyer: Signed, Dated and Numbered 1 of 5, Framed

Two fists, two ropes and a great deal of hair. Everything else is air.

"Swinging" is a stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, from France, ca. 2009, in ink on paper, signed, dated and numbered 1 of 5. Lithographers draw directly on a prepared stone in greasy crayon, so the print keeps the texture of the artist's hand, and editions this small stay close to the drawing. A rider leans out of the frame's center, gripping thin lines, the swing seat dangling. Grainy black shading gathers along one leg. The framed work is just over thirty-nine inches wide and thirty-four high.

Most of the sheet is left empty, which is where the swing is headed.
