ORIGINAL 1928 DORSEY POTTER TYSON (1900-1971) 'UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DAVIDGE HALL' ETCHINGThis is just a great original piece. I have had a few other Dorsey Potter Tyson etchings in the past but they have been his Orientalist works in the style of Elyse Ashe Lord. This is one of his earlier works and actually seems to be particularly scarce as I cannot find another example of this work. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This is really an outstanding work. A great view of Davidge Hall, the iconic main building of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. A dark crisp impression with the image measures 8 x 11 3/4 inches/ Signed and dated in pencil lower right. Image is in outstanding as printed condition. Looks as though the print was never framed until it was archival done in the last couple of decades. Really an excellent example of this scarce print. Double archival matte and wood frame are complimentary and ready to hang. Frame measures 15 x 18 1/2 inches.
For those not familiar with the artist his biography from a high end print gallery that sells the artist's work reads: "The American printmaker Dorsey Potter Tyson was born in Maryland; however, much of D.P.Tyson’s market was in England. His prints sold alongside those of the Elyse Ashe Lord, riding on the wave of popularity for the Art Deco style which was in vogue at the time. Like Elyse Lord, Dorsey Potter Tyson drew his inspiration from a wide range of oriental sources and like Lord, his art was essentially decorative in nature.Dorsey Potter Tyson's highly decorative original colour prints appear, at first glance, to be colour printed etchings, which have then been extensively coloured by hand. They are in fact, the result of skilful colour printing alone, using a technique which effectively combines the printing of a normal etching simultaneously with that of printing a monotype. The lines of the etched design, which compose the basic image art inked with black printer's ink, and the surface of the plate is then cleaned in the manner used for printing a normal monochrome etching. Thick, coloured printer’s inks are then painted onto the surface of the plate using a brush as though painting a plate for a monotype printing; the proof is then printed at one pull through the press. This is a very time-consuming method of colour printmaking, but the results are striking and extremely decorative. "
