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

Two tangled figures, all elbows and shoulders, inside a tight black outline.

Push Away is a framed stone lithograph by Bob Meyer, from France, made around 2017 in ink on paper. It is signed, dated and marked AP, Paris. Lithographs drawn directly on stone preserve the softness and immediacy of the artist's hand, which makes the medium well suited to quick figure studies. Here two figures appear to grapple or embrace within a square frame of loose black line, their limbs overlapping and shaded with fine hatching. The small image floats on wide cream paper, set within a white mat and a ribbed black frame. It is 23.5 inches wide and 25 high.

Whether a quarrel or a hug, it is hard to say, and that is the fun.
