Susan Cirigliano

Dirty Ben (The Cook)

Susan Cirigliano's original etching, Dirty Ben is an artist proof impression printed upon fine archival paper and with full, deckled margins as created by the artist c. 1975 - 1980. This impression is signed, titled and annotated, 'A/P' (Artist Proof) by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. This amusing etching depicts Ben, a grubby looking cook, unshaved, and possibly unwashed. He is wearing a chef's hat and a very dirty apron over a short sleeved striped t-shirt while he happily goes about his business preparing an elaborate meal in some kitchen. Dirty Ben is a striking, original example of the humour and etched art created by the American artist, Susan Cirigliano.
