So as to convert them

Ronald Brooks Kitaj RA (1932-2007)

Screenprint on paper from 1972 from the portfolio A Day Book by Robert Creeley (recognised as one the most influentual US authors and poets of the 20th century).

This is plate 3, So as to convert them.  Signed in pencil, denoted hc for hors commerce, aside from the edition of 200.

“Prints by RB Kitaj from ‘A Day Book’ with text by Robert Creeley combine the artist’s graphic ouvre with his love of literature. Kitaj’s prints from the 60’s and 70’s demonstrate an experimental use of printmaking methods and surfaces. An influential graphic work with eight screenprints, four etchings and a lithograph printed on various papers, canvas and acetate. 

A controversial figure – political, intellectual and much admired by his peers Hockney, Freud and Auerbach. His work recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest with exhibitions at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, The Jewish Museum London, Marlborough Fine Art and The British Museum”.
