Robert Andrew Parker (American, 1927-2023), County Clare, Eire I, 1967 Color Lithograph
Robert Andrew Parker (American, 1927–2023) was a painter, printmaker, and illustrator recognized for his fluid draftsmanship and watercolor-like handling of line and color. Educated at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Parker worked extensively in fine-art printmaking, editorial illustration, and book illustration. His work is represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and Norton Simon Museum.
County Clare, Eire I, 1967, is a color lithograph from aluminum and stone printed in yellow, red, blue, and white on German Etching paper and published by Tamarind Lithography Workshop, Los Angeles. The first image in Parker’s twelve-print County Clare, Eire portfolio, it places a narrow green-and-yellow shoreline between a restless blue sky and a pale blue foreground. Pink and yellow passages run around the image edges, while loose blue forms suggest clouds breaking over the distant coast. Inscribed in graphite “Tamarind Imp.” lower left and signed “Robert Andrew Parker” lower right, with the Tamarind bell and David Folkman printer’s blindstamps near the lower center. The “Tamarind Imp.” inscription identifies this as a workshop-retained Tamarind impression rather than a numbered impression from the regular edition. Verso inscribed “German Etching Paper” and “2133". Sheet measures approximately 17.125 x 11.75 inches. Overall very good appearance, with delicate color and a few minute scattered specks visible in the margins. Light handling along the naturally deckled edges; image presents well. Provenance of Martin and Enid Gleich.
