- Lot Description
Frank Howell (American, 1937-1997). "Uncertain Weather" - a two color lithograph on Rives BFK white paper. Printed at Master Editions between the dates of November 22, 1983 and January 23, 1984. A magnificent, hand-colored lithograph with imagery and poetry entitled "Uncertain Weather" by Frank Howell that is pencil signed and numbered by the artist ("7/40 Frank Howell 1984") on the lower right, with Master Editions' Chop at the lower left and Master Printer's Chops on the lower right. This two color lithograph was drawn by Frank Howell on one stone and one plate with Tusche water wash printed in grey green and image and words drawn on mylar and directly transferred to a positive working plate and printed in dark grey. The composition includes a winter scene with just over a dozen conifer trees dotting the snowy hillside. To the left is Howell's poem (see verses below). Size of lithograph: 11.5" L x 14.5" W (29.2 cm x 36.8 cm) Size of frame: 18.5" L x 21" W (47 cm x 53.3 cm)
Howell's poem reads as follows: "Uncertain Weather / Another afternoon of blue-black / Clouds gather thickly / Along the darkening hills. / Earlier, veins of sun, / Gold upon the fields, / Warmed the hope of morning. / Time and again dire warned / Especially myself, of optimism / Weather changes so suddenly. / We are like that, you and I, / Hopeful again, but knowing / for only certainty is uncertainty."
Born in Sioux City, Iowa, Frank Howell studied art as well as writing at the University of Northern Iowa. In the 1960s, he moved to Breckenridge, Colorado, then to Taos, New Mexico, and finally Santa Fe. In addition to being a painter, Howell was a photographer, a master lithographer, as well as an accomplished writer and poet. He worked in various visual art mediums, creating impressive lithographs, monotypes, oils, watercolors, acrylics, drawings, and sculptures. He stated, "I believe that through the communion between the tools, materials, and qualities of lithography and my sensibilities, beauty may be born. It is that communion and my awareness of its potential that perpetuates my search."
