Original complex organic lithograph with three-dimensional impression by Joseph Demarais, (1927-1971). Joseph Demarais was a highly regarded printmaker whose work is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the U.S. Department of State. Joseph Demarais was born in 1927 in Hoboken, New Jersey. He made hundreds of prints during his brief career and pushed the limits of printmaking by using copper, zinc, masonite and acetate to achieve textural surfaces.
