A beautifully-executed woodcut print by Morton Garchik, deeply inked and with crisp edges. It is entirely unclear whether the artist is portraying his Patriarch with gravity or humor . . . or both.

Woodcut in black ink Paper:
Printed on an off-white fine-fibered paper of unknown make. Printer:
Apparently printed by the artist’s own hand, (as signified by the notation “imp.” after the artist’s name) Date:
1961 Signature:
Hand-signed in pencil by the artist en recto lower right. Titled in pencil by the artist en recto lower center. Editioned in pencil by the artist en recto lower left. Edition:
This is impression 7 out of the edition of 100. Framing:
Custom matted and framed in an ornamented wooden frame behind 99% UV-filtering Conservation Glass. All conservation materials. Condition:
Fair condition. The overall impact of the work is excellent, but there are modest signs of water damage to the upper and lower left corners, a horizontal crease (which appears to be a relic of the printing process) across the work at the lower third, and remnants of a cardboard backer en verso. Despite these flaws, the print presents beautifully and is conservation-framed to minimize any worsening of its condition. Framed Size: 23.5 in. (h) × 19.5 in. (d) x .75 in. (d) Image Size:
About 13 in. (h) × 10.25 in. (w)
