Look Mamma Etching By Seymour Joseph Guy, N.A. 1886 This is a large and great impression of a rare Seymour Joseph print because of it's plate size. In an age where most painters did not etch or engrave their own work, Seymour did and did a great job. Sheet size is 11.5'' by 15''. eymour Joseph Guy established a reputation in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century as one of the finest genre painters of children. His primarily cabinet-sized pictures were esteemed by his fellow artists and leading collectors of American art. He was widely respected for his technical ability and knowledge of the science of painting, but with the emergence of a younger generation of European-trained artists in the 1880s, Guy’s meticulous and smoothly polished scenes of childhood began to fall out of fashion. In recent decades his art and talent have been reappraised by museums, scholars, and collectors of early American art, but up to now almost nothing has been published about his life and career.   « Less
