GEORGE ELBERT BURR
Colorado/Arizona, 1859-1939
"Arizona Clouds (no. 1)", circa 1921. Edition unknown. Signed and inscribed "Del et Imp" and "No. 14" in pencil lower margin. We have found only two impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Housed in a cherry frame with rounded molding. Seeber 68.
Color mezzotint, 7" x 9.5". Framed 15.25" x 17.75".
Notes:
The current work was George Burr's only mezzotint plate; he is quoted by Leila Mechlin in a 1929 The American Magazine of Art, XX as saying "I only resorted to mezzotint once, just to see if I could do it. I did it, but never again. It's a slow, plodding process, not adapted to my temperament."
