Benton Spruance "Penelope" 1956 Color Lithograph. Signed by the Artist Titled & numbered 62/120.
This is a magnificent, EXTREMELY RARE signed color lithograph by internationally acclaimed artist and printmaker Benton Spruance (American, 1904-1967).
Benton Spruance, an internationally known artist and a pioneer in color lithography, was a native of Philadelphia. While attending architectural classes at the University of Pennsylvania, he developed an interest in graphic sketching, which eventually led him to win a competitive scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Over the years, he was a recipient of a long list of awards and fellowships including two Cresson Scholarships to travel in Europe and two Guggenheim grants.
The 1930s marked a resurgence of interest in American art. During the Depression, artists and the public sought out distinctly American subjects, including those which commented on social issues. Benton Spruance was one of many artists who found in printmaking a way to bring his American images to a wide audience, and in lithography, a medium capable of producing inexpensive editions of "art for the people." While acknowledging stylistically and thematically the early influence of George Bellows, a master of both lithography and athletic subjects, Spruance quickly developed his own personal, expressive fusion of modern simplification with the particulars of physical fact.
In 1967, the Philadelphia College of Art held a special retrospective exhibition of his lithographs in honor of his "distinguished achievement as an artist and as a member of their faculty." During his long career, Spruance had served for many years on the Philadelphia Art Commission, was the chairman of the Arts Department of Beaver College, Jenkintown, and the chairman of the Printmaking Department of the Philadelphia College of Art. His art is in the collections of the Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Carnegie Institute.
