French Primitive Modern Print by Bob Meyer: Signed and Numbered 1 of 25 with Additional RM Mark; Unframed

Midnight blue sweeping up into violet, then a blaze of pale gold at the top.

Transcendental Etudes is a Primitive Modern Print by Bob Meyer, published in France in 2015 as an etching on paper, signed and numbered 1 of 25 with an additional RM mark, and unframed. Etching, has been a favored printmaking method in Europe since the 16th century. Here the image dissolves almost entirely into color: a dark blue mass at the left, a band of violet and dusty rose through the center and a pale, glowing field above. The marks are soft and smudged. It is 12.5 inches wide and 8.5 high.

Somewhere in there, a piano is working very hard.
