CHARLES WHITE (1918 - 1979) Young Worker.
Linoleum cut in brown and black on thin cream Japan paper, laid down to board, 1954. 768x572 mm; 30 1/4x22 1/2 inches, wide (full?) margins. Signed, titled, dated and inscribed "To Walter With My Warmest Regards" in pencil, lower margin. A very good, richly inked impression of this extremely scarce print.
We have not found another impression of this print at auction in 20 years. Charles White made two versions of this print; this is the second, with an added landscape as the background. Gedeon illustrates the other version. There is also a 1953 crayon drawing, Young Farmer, of the same subject. According to Gedeon, the print was also titled Young Farmer, and was reproduced in Tribune Magazine, February 17, 1954. Gedeon Eb9.
