Description

California native Russell Chatham moved to Livingstone, Montana in 1972 where he equipped a full lithography studio in order work when he needed to take a break from his painting. He had originally learned lithography in Marin County in California from his future wife, Doris Clark Meyer.

Chatham uses a special offset lithography press to print his work, drawing directly onto each plate to create each color in the composition, sometimes using as many as 40 individual plates.

This Tonalist landscape depicts a snowy winter day in Montana, with evergreen trees interrupting the overcast snowfield background.
