Original Sabra Field Woodcut Print “Moonrise, July”

Original Sabra Field woodcut print titled “Moonrise, July”. Features a deep yolk moon set against verdant mountains and a deep blue night sky. Depicts the beginning of the night, the birth of the old yet the new, refreshing, crisp, and full of promise. The colors are deep and breathtaking, the condition of the actual woodblock print is pristine. Signed in lower right, titled in lower left. Comes framed in birchwood frame with double mat. Frame has some scuffs and scratches, but nothing that you would notice when hung. The dustcover on the back has ripped, and has let’sa few specks of dust in. Again, nothing that would distract from the beauty of the piece. This is just a great original piece. Original Sabra Field color woodcuts are getting harder and harder to find. Once they enter a collection, they typically will stay there. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included her biography below. For those not familiar with the artist her biography from Middlebury reads: "Among the most highly lauded artists in the state, Field was named “an Extraordinary Vermonter” by then Governor Madeleine Kunin in 1990 and a “Vermont Living Treasure” by the Shelburne Craft School a decade later. Commissioned by the United States Postal Service to design a commemorative stamp on the occasion of the Vermont Bicentennial, Field’s image sold more than 60 million copies and became a best-seller for the USPS as well as a marketing bonanza for the Vermont Travel Division. She has also designed imagery for calendars, credit cards, wine bottle labels, UNICEF cards, and hot air balloons. IBM, the Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College, Billings Farm in Woodstock, Vermont Public Television, Vermont Life magazine, and the Darmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, as well as her alma mater, have all commissioned her designs. Relying on an iconography of green pastures, windrows lying in soft curves, an old red barn, blue hills, and a blue sky that goes on forever, her landscape designs conjure up a pastoral idyll that has enormous public appeal. As Graff writes, “If naming something is to own it, then Sabra Field owns Vermont’s color wheel. Her iconic images of Vermont’s vibrant landscape feature green fields, blue skies, white clouds, and purple mountain majesties." See less
