Description: LISTED AMERICAN WARREN LINE FINE VINTAGE ORIGINAL SCRATCHBOARD You are bidding on a nicely wooden framed under glass very fine small original ink drawing on thick paper of a sax player by listed American artist: Warren Line in very good condition. The piece is signed and dated 80 by the artist. This work was commissioned and published by " Rolling Stone" in 1980. It is very well executed with fine detail. Warren Linn has exhibited nationally and internationally, and worked as an illustrator for virtually every major media client, all over the past 4½ decades. Born, reared, and established in Chicago, he moved to NY City in 1980, and to Baltimore in 2002. He is on the Faculty at the Maryland Institute College of Art where he draws, paints, and collages continuously. His work is in 12 American Illustration annuals and he is represented in The Society of Illustrators 200 Years of American Illustration, in The Permanent Print & Drawing Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne, and numerous private collections. He is represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art, in New York. He has taught in Florence at SACI and worked in France numerous times over the past decade. I constantly work in my sketchbooks. This daily practice is the foundation and source of further finished and developed work. I see my work as literary chronicles. A lifetime drawing, illustrating, painting and collaging finds me restating and editing earlier work and utilizing portions and pieces of my sketchbooks. Much of my work is now driven by the discovered accident, the surprise. I continue to find this both unnerving and ripe with interest and possibility. It has been said that I am both blessed and burdened with insatiability. I often revisit works after having thought them resolved. Similar to the Abstract Expressionists who inspired me early on, I invite the viewer to bring her/his own memory and thoughts, picking up where I leave off. I want my work open to interpretation despite definitive imagery. I am represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art, 529 W 20th St. NYC. Work may also be seen at Corbett vs. Dempsey in Chicago, and in the Permanent Print & Drawing Collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Warren Linn maintains sketchbooks. His daily practice of drawing becomes the basis and source for his artwork. These are chronicles. The artist utilizes his forty years of experience with illustrations to reconstruct his sketches and previous fragments into collages and assemblages of variously shaped forms. Although Linn initially starts with a well-planned intention or narrative, his work is deeply informed by the unexpected. Accident, surprise, and discovery are incorporated into his creative process. Linn is both blessed and burdened with insatiability. He often revisits works for editing after having thought them resolved. Similar to the Abstract Expressionists who inspired him early on, Linn allows the viewer to pick up where he leaves off, resulting in works open to interpretation despite the definitive imagery. The ambiguity within his collages is a product of drawing, painting, and construction coming together. Warren Linn is on the faculty of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), has worked as an illustrator for major media clients, and exhibited in a wide range of galleries and venues over the past four decades including the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD; Society of Illustrators, New York, NY; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD; St. John’s University, Jamaica, NY; The Jazz Gallery, New York, NY; Parsons School of Design, New York, NY; Esther Rand Gallery, New York, NY; Mesa Contemporary Arts Center, Mesa, AZ; The Knitting Factory, New York, NY; The Art Directors Club, New York, NY; Artists Guild of Chicago, Chicago, IL; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Nagoya, Japan.
