French Stone Lithograph by Bob Meyer: Signed, Dated, and Marked AP. Paris, Framed

A few quick strokes, a profile turning away, and most of the paper left to the imagination.

Looking Goodbye is a framed stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, from France, made around 2009 in ink on paper. It is signed, dated and marked AP, Paris. In stone lithography, the artist draws directly onto limestone with greasy crayon or ink, so the print keeps the spontaneity of a drawing. Loose black lines suggest a large head in profile, with a small dark eye shape, a curl of hair at the top and a dark pool of ink at lower left. Pencil inscriptions run above and below the image. A deep white mat sits within a patterned silver frame. It is 18.75 inches wide and 20 high.

Some farewells need only a few lines.
