RON ADAMS (1934 - )
La Diana.

Engraving, etching and aquatint, printed in blue, 1968. 640x480 mm; 25 1/4x19 1/8 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 8/25 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this scarce print.

According to the artist, this etching is just the third print he made. In 1967, Adams moved to Mexico where he studied lithography and engraving with Robledo Cabdavilla at the University of Mexico. The International Olympic Committee selected Adams as a graphic designer to create posters, murals and other illustrations for the 1968 Olympics there. In 1969, Adams moved back to Los Angeles and began working at Gemini G.E.L. with founder Kenneth Tyler.
