"A recent original print by Fanch Ledan offers a window onto this artist's world, a graceful synthesis of observed fact, artistic homage, and reverie. In Interior with Buddha, 2001, a serigraph from a painting that was done the previous year, we look down on an elegant room. Though no one is present exept for us, the viewers, we can piece together the story of a life. Classical music played on a harp, reading while taking tea, appreciating antiques and the Spanish masters of modern art--Picasso and Miro. All is ordered by an underlying geometry--the square columns, the vertical strings of the harp, the pink and rose stripes of the upholstery. The colors, too, contribute to a sense of harmony and quiet. Intense hues of orange, yellow, and blue-green in the furniture and artwork are modulated by the softer complementaries of pinks and blues. While these details tell of a cultivated life in a grand interior, the image shows that the artist is equally concerned with other worlds. Taking a cue from the glasses left on a chair, we change our field of vision from near to far, either literally out the window to the sparkling cityscape at night or, as implied by the pink quartz Buddha elevated on its pedestal, spiritually to the sky above. A perfect world of comfort and art is juxtaposed with the infinite world of dreaming. "Over the last three decades he has created a staggering number of limited editions - the 243 lithographs, serigraphs, and serilithographs that are the focus of this book. "The art created by Francois Ledan, known today primarily by his nickname Fanch, is inextricably tied to the events of his life. His identity as a Breton, his years studying, living, and working in the United States and France, his wanderlust--all have shaped his world view and thus his art." EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 236 pages.
