James Christensen - Mother Goose Etching

Description: James Christensen - Mother Goose Etching Back in the late 80's/early 90's, James Christensen personally produced a set of Nursery Rhyme etchings. Up for sale is one of these etchings - "Mother Goose". Just who is Mother Goose? The figure of Mother Goose is the imaginary author of a collection of French fairy tales and later of English nursery rhymes. Her persona is a fictional character that represents an “old woman”. You will find that she is often depicted as an elderly woman with a beak nose and sharp chin usually riding on the back of a flying gander, which is exactly as James has portrayed her. This mint condition piece is #13 of the low edition size of 60. The paper size is 12" x 11.25”, and the image size is approximately 9.5" x 8.75". Current online selling prices are up to $4,700. Inspired by the world’s myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen’s work adds up to more than a beautiful - if sometimes “curious” looking work of art. Having taught art professionally for over 20 years, he thought of the world as his classroom. His hope was that through whatever he creates -- be it a porcelain, fine art print or book -- he can convey a message, inspiration or a simple laugh. He believed that teaching people to use their imagination helps us find solutions to sooth the stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep going. In short: all things are possible when you share Christensen’s philosophy that “Believing is Seeing.” Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University and, for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. He had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast, and his work is prized in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensen has been designated as a “Utah Art Treasure,” one of Utah’s Top 100 Artists by the Springville Museum of Art and received the Governor’s Award for Art awarded by the Utah Arts Council recognizing the significance of Christensen’s artwork to Utah’s cultural communities. He was inducted into the U.S. Art magazine’s Hall of Fame and is an Honored Alumnus at Brigham Young University for his contributions to fine art and education.(1942-2017) Due to the value of this item, a signature will be required upon delivery.
