Title: Christina's Garden
Artist: Preston, David (Sydney, Born, 1948 - Resides, Manly, New South Wales)
Date: 1991
Medium: Original Linocut with Hand-Coloring
Publisher: Studio One Inc., Canberra, Australia
Note: David Preston: A contemporary Australian printmaker and painter of landscapes, figure studies and still lifes, David Preston studied art at the Julian Ashton Art School, Sydney, and under such teachers as Brett Whitely, John Olsen and Charles Blackman. He began exhibiting his art in 1974 and since that time he has exhibited in many countries in Asia, Europe and North America. His paintings and prints have been featured on the covers of such diverse publications as the 'New York Gallery Guide', 'The Geneva Tribune', 'Figaro', Paris, and the 'Sydney Morning Herald'. David Preston is also the founder of the Etcher's Press. The artist currently lives in New South Wales.
  David Preston is equally well known for both his paintings and prints. In the latter category his very large linocuts deserve special mention. He draws his inspiration from classic Japanese woodcuts, where space is deliberately flattened in order to draw our eyes to the natural harmonies of form and color. Christina's Garden is a brilliant example of Preston's contemporary creative techniques.
  This impression of Christina's Garden is annotated, "Hors Commerce, 6/6." Hors Commerce impressions are those taken before the printing of the regular edition and are usually reserved for the artist and/or publisher. The edition size for Christina's Garden is therefore not known but most of David Preston's original linocuts are published in editions of fifty.
