French Primitive Modern Print by Bob Meyer: Signed and Numbered 1 of 25, Framed
About this piece
Under an enormous pale hat, a sleeper cradles something dark and furry.
Cat nap is a framed etching on paper by Bob Meyer, from France, published 2015 and signed and numbered 1 of 25. Etching lines are bitten into a plate by acid, and an artist can add color and texture to each impression so that an edition becomes a family rather than a set of twins. A pale figure bows its head beneath a tall, rope-banded hat, holding a long brown cat against its chest. The ground glows in coral and scarlet, scratched with fine white lines. Deckled edges float in a white mat. It is 27 inches wide and 24.5 high, the image 12 by 13.
Hard to say who is napping on whom.
