                <div>Stephanie Weber (American, b.1942) is a professional painter whose current work uses horizontal or vertical stripes and rich colors in her work. She has been called a minimal sensualist, as her work is neither fully Abstract nor exact. This lithograph is most likely from the 1960s or 70s and features a portrait of a Victorian woman whose hat has morphed into a rose. The pink is offset by sepia tones and a smaller image of a Victorian man against a brick wall hovers above her. Beautifully framed in a silver leaf wood frame.Weber studied at the University of California in Los Angeles, CA, in the early 1960's. She studied alongside Richard Diebenkorn (American, 19221993) and Nathan Oliveira (American, 19382010). <br></div><div><br></div><div>Maker's Marks:Pencil signed Stephanie Weber, Woman Series Three, Second Edition.<br></div>                <br>Condition: Good pre-owned condition.<br>Measurements: 28&#34; x 38&#34; high.
