About the work

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.

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.
