James Boynton

Key Hole

James Boynton's original lithograph, "Key Hole" is a fine, example of the important surrealist art created by the American artist during the 1970's. In "Key Hole", for example, Jack Boynton uses shape and form to both contradict the senses and to disrupt our relationship to space and time. And, like the greatest surrealist masters, his art is clearly thought provoking.

This original lithograph is printed upon fine, hand-made 'Arches' paper and with full margins as published by the Tamarind Litho. Workshop in the small edition of only sixty impressions in 1970. It is signed, dated and numbered in pencil by James W. Boynton along the lower margin.
