Thrilled to be offering for sale an original Louise Gilbert (1900-1987 Washington) etching print. Wonderful tonal qualities. Rich graded tonal effects, like an aquatint print (a technique Goya employed in his print making).

Early in her life, Louise Gilbert had the great privilege of being an art student at the University of Washington shortly after Ambrose Patterson formed the Art Department in 1919 at the school. (It is also recorded that she had a friendship (platonic)with the late great artist Mark Tobey.)

I believe the etching print I\'m offering was possibly completed in the 1920s. The Hawaiian subject matter intrigued me. Did this young lady makethe trip to Hawaii? Getting toHawaii in the early 20th century was expensive and long. Just out of curiosity, I looked into Ambrose Patterson\'s life (the UW\'s Art Department head) and Ifound outthatAmbrose lived in Hawaii for seven years prior to coming to the University of Washington in 1919. This is pure speculation, but I wondered if Louise Gilber may have used an old photograph from Ambrose Patterson to create her etching??

Louise Gilbert is very well known in the Northwest. She was an early member of the Woman Painters of Washington in the 1930s. I\'m not sure the date but she opened an art gallery in Seattle\'s Frederick and Nelson Department Store called the Little Gallery (It was one of the only galleries in the city at one time prior to Zoe Dusanne and Otto Seligman). She gave many fine NW artist\'s representation at the Little Gallery in the day. She herself exhibited at Foster/White Gallery in Seattle, and was featured in art shows at the Seattle Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, Portland Art Museum.

The etching print is signed in pencil lower left hand side outside plate marks \"Louise Gilbert\". In-plate signature as well lower left hand side. In pencil \"First proof\" lower right hand side, outside plate marks.
