Description

Chris Ritter, director of the Laurel Gallery, New York, planned that Laurels would be a periodical with literature, prints, original calligraphy, handset type, and handmade papers by Douglass Howell. The first issue, which appeared in May 1947, included prints by Joan Miró, Anne Ryan, Stanley William Hayter, Reginald Marsh, George Constant, and Will Barnet. Only four issues were published.
Print of curving, abstract shapes outlined in thick, black ink. Central, a face is suggested by two dots connected by a u-shaped nose and a line for a mouth. This face connects on the right to an organic shape like a figure lifting a hoop over their head. On the left is another organic shape with two dots stacked on one another and a tail-like appendage curling down, a crescent shape above.
