"Like a tree or a stone, human beings also possess this original purity. I would like to return to that point of simplicity and have the vision to look at all human and living beings," states well-known artist Mikio Watanabe. The strong desire to develop that vision is one of the reasons why we find Watanabe's mezzotints of the nude female form so compelling: Title: "Nu Assis I" ("Seated Nude I") 1997 Mezzotint on BFK Rives Numbered from a limited edition of 75, plus XXX Roman Signed in pencil in the margin LR Sheet: 13 × 20 Image: 5½ × 9 Very good - excellent condition; never mounted, matted or framed Certificate of Authenticity Watanabe creates a mezzotint by repeatedly pressing a curved, serrated mezzotint rocker over the surface of a copper plate until has received many thousands of tiny indentations from this tool.

After the entire surface of the plate has been roughened, scraper and burnishers are used to raise tones of gray and white. "During the slow process of engraving, as I scrape the burrs that I have incised on the copper plate and then polish it, the sensitivity which lies inside me can be revealed. Giving shape and light to what was before absolute darkness, I try to feel this universe of purity which exists deep inside the human body," says the artist. Mikio Watanabe (Japan, b. 1954) completed his studies in Tokyo in 1977 and settled in Paris, where he learned engraving techniques at the Atelier 17. Since 1981, Mikio Watanabe has focused on mezzotint and his works can be found in many public collections inclu

After showing horses and becoming a riding instructor, Christine moved to Chantilly where she worked for the top racing stables in France while painting Thoroughbred horses. After moving to New York, she continued to work as an exercise rider, but it was here that she received her first commissions to paint famous horses. Eventually Picavet moved to Southern California where she worked for Hall of Fame trainer Charles Whittingham while her reputation as an equine artist grew. She married an equine veterinarian (you might say, she picked a vet), and in 1980, when expecting her son Eric, she ended a decade of riding race horses to become a full-time equine artist. After painting race horses for twenty-five years, Christine expanded her subjects to include western scenes, wildlife and animal portraits. Twice she has studied with leading Western artist Howard Terpning at the Cowboy Artists of America Museum. In 2004, the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park honored the artist with a one woman show entitled, Thoroughbred Champions, Mustangs & A Cowboy L

Jonathan Lasker (1948- ) studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York, and California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. From the artist's own words: "A critic once wrote that my work asked the same question of its viewer that John Q. Public would ask when looking at an abstract painting. The question being, What is that supposed to be? What the critic, Stephen Westfall, meant was that although my forms are abstract, my paintings give viewers suggestions to help them perceive pictorial images in my paintings. Suggestion, of course, being the only way one sees images in a painting, even if the painting is supposedly realistic." Lasker's work has appeared in many group shows in the U.S. and Europe, and can be found in public collections, including MIT Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and Wacoal Art Center, Tokyo.
