Date:	c. 1920
Medium:	Original Etching & Drypoint Engraving
Note:	Georges Gobo: Born to French parents living in San Francisco, Georges Gobo moved to Paris at a young age and studied art at both the Paris Salon and at the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts. By 1910 he had established himself as both a painter and illustrator of note. In this latter category he illustrated such books as Mont sur la Vile, by Focillon, and L'Etang de Berre, by Maurras. Georges Gobo's most famous works, however, were his original etchings and drypoint engravings. Excelling in the genres of portraits, figure studies, landscapes and architectural views, his etchings were frequently exhibited throughout both Europe and the United States.
	Regardless of the subject matter, Gobo's etched art was always both brilliant and individualistic. He often combined striking architectural views with the activities of its residents, often finding a perfect balance within the comings and goings of street life. Few artists could capture the fleeting relationships of a bustling crowd as well as Georges Gobo.
	Georges Gobo was a frequent exhibitor with the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts and was awarded the 'prix Cottet' in 1945. Examples of his original paintings and etchings are housed in the permanent collections of most major French galleries.
	Entrevaux is one of Georges Gobo's largest and most distinguished original etchings. Combining both etching and extensive drypointing it portrays the buildings and its inhabitants with striking tonal values. Entrevaux was published in a limited edition of fifty, signed impressions. Georges Gobo printed a small handful of artist proof impressions before publishing the edition. On this particular impression he has written, "epreuve d'artiste B", which indicates that it was the second impression pulled from the plate.
