About the Item

SHARING THE CHORES is a hand drawn, limited edition lithograph by the African American artist JONATHAN GREEN printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. SHARING THE CHORES is a simple rural landscape composition featuring two black women working together feeding chickens, dressed in billowy white dresses and straw hats carrying a light gray bucket as black, red, and yellow chickens busy themselves at their feet. SHARING THE CHORES is a farm-fresh rural scene set with a small chicken coop, fluffy green trees lining horizon, golden ochre, orange and dark brown earth in the foreground, and a skyline of crisp light blue with cottony clouds. Print size - 27 x 33 inches, unframed, mint condition, pencil signed by Jonathan Green, Certificate of Authenticity will be provided Image size - 20.5 x 26 inches Edition size - 195, plus Proofs Year published - 1996 Printer - JK Fine Art Editions Co. NJ About the artist- Painter and printmaker Jonathan Green, born and raised in the small Gullah community of Gardens Corner located near the South Carolina Sea Islands, is considered one of the most important contemporary painters of the Southern experience. The artwork of Jonathan Green is heavily influenced by his Gullah heritage with vividly colored paintings and prints documenting everyday chores, in addition to celebrating Gullah life’s rites of passage. By returning his art to his childhood upbringing, Green has created an autobiographical body of work in addition to documenting a vanishing way of life. Jonathan Green's artwork has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, and is included in the permanent collections of several major museums. Artist statement - "I am drawn to rural environments that afford a sense of space and silence and an opportunity to unobtrusively observe daily functions of others as we all pursue life's mission of work, love and belonging.… It is the small, but critical tasks of daily life that I find most stimulating and reflective of the quality of essential, personal, community, and social values."
