Interiors I: Family Reunion 1984 Resist ground etching and engraving on BFK Rives wove paper, 20 x 36 inches (501 x 913 mm), full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 49/175 in pencil, lower margin. In excellent condition with minor mat tone. A luminous, rich, and well-inked impression of this haunting image, with astonishing detail and depth. Framed handsomely under museum grade glass with archival materials in a solid wood frame with silver finish. [Milton 107] Intended to be a stand alone image in its inception, Family Reunion ended up spawning seven additional images, and became a sort of Primo Pensiero in the sprawling, masterpiece suite now known as Interiors. The suite took eight years to complete, and consists of works of varying format, psychological intensity, and subject matter. The thematic darkness in the eight images waxes and wanes, and Milton intentionally included several interlude works to lighten the tension he felt while composing several of the darker images. The first two in the series, Family Reunion, and Hotel Paradise Café, were meant to be companion pieces. The equilibrium of each composition is anchored on a central brooding figure; a man (perhaps based on a Thomas Eakins portrait of the American anthropologist Frank Hamilton...

ED BAYNARD (American, 1940-2016) Flowers, Flowers in a Vase, Etching. 1979/1980, Hand signed, dated l.r., Hand numbered from small edition 12/24, Dimensions: 23 by 19 in. Framed 25 by 21 in Born in Washington, D.C. in 1940. Raised in Washington, D.C. and newly graduated from high school, he flew to Europe living off and on in Paris and London. During this time, he designed costumes for Jimi Hendrix, worked as a graphic designer for the Beatles as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Returning to New York, he dedicated his life to art after a surprise success with his first show in 1971 at the Willard Gallery in NYC. Ed's images are Zen-like in their simplicity and grace rendered in a flat, graphic style that recalls Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. His watercolors are luminous, like the rest of his representations regardless of the medium. The Japanese inspired ukiyo-e style woodblock prints and lithograph works he created at Tyler Graphics in 1980 contain a 20th century "floating world" sensibility. Ed's wish was to bring harmony, color, and a meditative stillness to this chaotic planet. He did so in a gentle and powerful way, always as an expression of his deep gratitude for the love and beauty, friendship, and concerns he held dearest. His first solo exhibition was in 1971 at New York's legendary Willard Gallery on the recommendation of Agnes Martin. Baynard went on to have exhibitions at galleries including Betty Parsons Gallery, New York (1973); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (1977); John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco (1980); and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York (1980/81).. Baynard manages to retain a simplicity of form inspired by a love of Japanese Woodblock prints. His new works reflect the same poetry of his earlier paintings, retaining his stylized compositions with their Zen like minimalism and Oriental calm, along with a new sense of rhythm and movement. Baynard uses familiar themes such as flowers, plants, pots, and vases, incorporating them into his delicate watercolor still lifes, thus creating stunning visual feasts. He was included in the 1972 Landscape exhibition at MoMA NY alone with other luminaries James Boynton, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Minnie Evans...

This original U.S. one-sheet poster was issued in 1955 by 20th Century-Fox for the theatrical release of The Tall Men, a Western directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Clark Gable, Jane Russell, and Robert Ryan. Based on the novel by Heck Allen (writing as Clay Fisher), the film follows two brothers as they drive a massive cattle herd from Texas to Montana, set against a backdrop of frontier conflict, ambition, and shifting loyalties in the post–Civil War American West. The poster features bold, period Western imagery centered on its three leads, with Jane Russell prominently positioned between Gable and Ryan. The composition emphasizes scale and movement, reflecting the film’s themes of expansion and endurance. Strong color saturation—particularly in the warm earth tones and vivid costume accents—gives the piece immediate wall presence, typical of mid-1950s studio advertising design. This example is linen-backed using archival, acid-free materials, a standard conservation method that stabilizes the paper while enhancing displayability. Restoration appears professional and consistent with industry norms for a poster of this age, allowing the imagery to present cleanly while retaining its original character. The NSS number 55/373 confirms its year of release and studio distribution. While The Tall Men is not among the rarest Western titles, it holds steady collector interest due to its strong cast—particularly Clark Gable in one of his later Western roles—and the enduring appeal of classic studio-era frontier films. As such, it represents a solid and visually compelling entry point into 1950s Western poster...

As this is a calendar for 1942, the prints were no doubt made in 1941. All images are wood engravings by members of the Chicago Society of Artists. With essay by Ernest F. Detterer, Custodian, Newberry Library, Chicago. The outside measurements are 8 1/2 x 11 x 1 inches. The cover image and most of the additional works are 5 x 7 inches. The edition was planned for 2000 copies but it is extremely unlikely that that number was ever printed and this item is now scarce. There is one image per week. The stamp 'Labor (?) World Press Printers, 508 S. Kedzie Avenue, Chicago,' is on the inside cover. The first word is partly obliterated. Among the additional artists are Ethel Spears (cover image), Kathleen Blackshear, Fritizi Brod, Elise Donaldson, Frances Foy, Rowena Fry...

This striking travel poster promoting Australia was issued by UTA (Union de Transports Aériens), the French international airline active under that name from 1963 until its merger into Air France in 1990. The composition presents a highly stylized rendering of Sydney Harbour, with the Harbour Bridge and the unmistakable silhouette of the Sydney Opera House set against a vivid green ground and simplified skyline. The design embraces a minimalist, graphic approach characteristic of later 20th-century airline advertising, favoring bold color fields and reduced forms over photographic realism. The strong contrast and simplified geometry give the image immediate visual impact, while the iconic landmarks firmly anchor the scene in Sydney, Australia’s most internationally recognized city. UTA was known for commissioning clean, modern promotional imagery to position long-haul destinations as both aspirational and accessible. This poster fits squarely within that tradition, likely produced in the 1970s or 1980s, when such reductive graphic styles were widely used in airline marketing. Today, the piece appeals to collectors of airline memorabilia, Australian travel posters...

ED BAYNARD (American, 1940-2016) Flowers, Flowers in a Vase, Etching. 1979/1980, Hand signed, dated l.r., Hand numbered from small edition 12/24, Dimensions: 23 by 19 in. Framed 25 by 21 in Born in Washington, D.C. in 1940. Raised in Washington, D.C. and newly graduated from high school, he flew to Europe living off and on in Paris and London.
