Description
Rockport, Maine: Down East Books, 2000. Ephemera no binding. Fine. Kelly Paul BRIGGS. SIGNED by the ARTIST. Original art: 15 ½" x 15 ½" mat size; 5 5/8" x 5 5/8" image size. Original illustration art from Lighthouse Lullaby by mid-coast Maine author and artist Kelly Briggs. The fourteenth illustration found in the book on page 31 pictures a young boy sleeping in bed with his cat. "Icy pine boughs tap the window. / Little child, with peaceful sigh, / Drifting slowly off to sleep / Upon a lighthouse lullaby.". The work is done in the pointillist technique using tiny dots of color to define the space and create an image. This technique was first described by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in 1886 as part of the Neo-Impressionist movement. This painting along with several others was in an exhibition at the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine. A charming story of a lighthouse keeper and his family living on a remote Maine island. The author explains, "Island living was not easy, but they took pleasure in simple things that we now sometimes take for granted-a warm bed, a roof over our heads, and someone to love us." Ms. Briggs is a mostly self-taught artist, born and living on the coast of Maine. She is part of the Farnsworth Museum's Arts in Education Teaching Artist in Rockland, Maine. PLEASE NOTE: This does not include a copy of the book, Lighthouse Lullaby.
