George Constant's first one man exhibition of his art took
place in 1929 at the Arts Club of Chicago. Several years later he moved
to New York and lived and worked there for the following four decades.

Much of George Constant's oeuvre is in the mediums of engraving
and etching. In all probability, Queen Anne's Lace dates from the
1960's decade. During the decade Constant was commissioned on several
occasions to create engravings for the Associated American Artists in
New York. Since its creation in the mid 1930's, the Associated American
Artists commissioned original graphic art from such great masters as Grant
Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and others. During the 1960's,
major contributing artists included Jack Levine, James Kearns, Chaim Koppelman,
Joseph Margulies and George Constant. All commissioned graphic art from
this publisher was printed in editions of 250 or less. Queen Anne's Lace
was probably published by the Associated American Artists. |
