George Deem: Sienna Vermeer

The winner will receive a hand-signed lithograph of Sienna Vermeer by artist George Deem.

Print is numbered by artist 153/300. Image with beige border measures approximately 30" x 22"; actual image measures approximately 21.5" x 18.5".

If imitation is a sincere form of flattery, George Deem's (1932-2008) admiration of his artistic forebears was carried out on his own canvases. Gifted at reproduction, he concentrated on making explicit references to other painters and other paintings, uncannily recreating the style, the light, the brushstrokes as well as the details of artists he loved.

But in addition to the explicit references, there were always subtle or not so subtle alterations. By leaving out familiar elements or adding elements to known works, or reconfiguring components within them, he made his work a visual commentary on the history of painting, dating to the Renaissance.
