French Stone Lithograph by Bob Meyer: Signed, Dated, and Numbered 1 of 3, Paris, Framed

One black figure, arms and legs flung wide, in a great deal of white paper.

The Shortest Distance between Two Points is a Straight Line is a framed stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, made in Paris, France, around 2017, in ink on paper, signed, dated and numbered 1 of 3. Stone lithography prints from a drawing made on limestone with greasy ink, so the artist's line survives intact. The image is a loose, fast ink sketch of a figure, with limbs thrown out in a few strokes of black. Pencil lettering and a signature run beneath it. A cream mat and a dark, silver-edged wood frame surround it. It is 23 inches wide and 24.25 high.

The title sets out a rule, and the figure declines to follow it.
