Title:	Ollioules, France
Artist:	Simpson, Gretchen Dow (Cambridge, MA, 1939 - Resides, Providence, RI)
Date:	1983
Medium:	Original Colour Lithograph
Publisher:	Pamplemousse Press, New York
Note:	Gretchen Dow Simpson: If the style of this finely crafted architectural rendering looks somewhat familiar it is because over sixty-five Gretchen Dow Simpson works of art have been used as the covers for The New Yorker Magazine. Educated at the Rhode Island School of Design, Simpson began her career firstly as a photographer. Intrigued by the effects of man-made structures she began to practice painting and printmaking around 1970. Since then, she has been successful in the fields of book illustration, commercial art, and frequently exhibited landscapes, still lifes and architectural studies.
	First gaining national recognition for her close-up views of New England architecture, Simpson then traveled and worked in Europe, Morocco and Mexico. As one can see from this original lithograph, the spacial relationships affected by sunlight and shadow became one of her primary concerns. Today, Simpson's art is included in such major collections as Time Inc., Reader's Digest Corporation, Manufacturer's Hanover, the Newport Art Museum, Rhode Island, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
