Description

A dramatic tiger face stares you down from a beautifully carved linoleum, its raised grain texture adding natural depth to the fierce feline portrait. The corresponding print on aged tan paper captures every whisker and stripe with bold black ink, making this one of the standout pieces in the lot. Whether framed together or displayed separately, the block and print together tell the full story of the printmaking process. Condition is very good with residual ink on block surfaces as expected from use.

A hairy, wild-eyed wolf or beast figure rendered in expressive, energetic strokes dominates this carved art, with traces of red and gold paint adding unexpected color drama to the surface. The matching print on tan paper shows the creature in full gnarly glory, with red accent eyes that practically glow off the page. This one has serious folk-art energy with a hint of the occult that collectors of outsider art will absolutely lose their minds over. A one-of-a-kind conversation piece in any collection.

A celestial-themed linoleum sheet features a coiled serpent or dragon encircling a radiant sun, stars, and cosmic imagery carved with incredible detail into the plywood surface. The print version on tan paper is lightly inked and dreamy, giving it an almost mystical quality that pairs perfectly with the bold graphic style of the carving. The block itself shows the carved lines in crisp relief, making it as much a sculptural object as a printmaking tool. Perfect for lovers of mythology, astrology, or vintage illustration.

A circular medallion design featuring a reclining animal figure surrounded by stars and swirling bands is carved into a thick dark block with confident, clean lines. Two prints of this design are present in the lot, one slightly darker than the other, suggesting the artist was experimenting with ink pressure and coverage. The design has a bold graphic quality reminiscent of vintage tattoo flash or woodcut poster art from the early 20th century. A striking find for printmaking enthusiasts and folk art collectors alike.

A nature-framed composition featuring a bird or raven amid botanical flourishes is carved into a green-tinted plywood block, with the grain of the wood playing beautifully against the carved negative spaces. The corresponding print showcases the dense, decorative border work in crisp black ink on tan paper, revealing the artist had a strong eye for pattern and composition. A fifth smaller block featuring a sun face with radiating rays rounds out this incredible lot, adding solar symbolism to an already diverse collection. The back of one piece bears faint handwritten red crayon inscription, possibly a title or artist notation, adding a personal provenance touch.
