Signed by George Tooker on a plate mounted to the acknowledgments page, as issued. Lithograph signed by Tooker also numbered 18 of 250. George Clair Tooker, Jr. (1920-2011) was an American figurative painter. His works are associated with Magic Realism, Social Realism, Photorealism and Surrealism. His subjects are depicted naturally as in a photograph, but the images use flat tones, an ambiguous perspective, and alarming juxtapositions to suggest an imagined or dreamed reality.
