French Primitive Modern Print by Bob Meyer: Signed and Numbered 2 of 25 with RM Mark; Unframed

A head of dark hair, a sea-green dress, and somewhere just out of frame, the balloon.

Balloon gone is an etching on paper by Bob Meyer, from France, published 2015, signed and numbered 2 of 25 with the RM mark, and offered unframed. Etching lets an artist draw into a waxed plate and let acid do the cutting, and many contemporary printmakers layer color over the printed line until the sheet reads almost like a pastel. A small figure is seen from behind, hair a soft cloud of brown, shoulders flushed in coral. Her dress is a chalky turquoise, and violet shadow gathers at the left. The sheet is 28.25 inches wide and 27.75 high, the image 13.5 by 12.

Some losses are best taken with the back turned.
