GIRL IN BLUE JEANS
1976
Girl in Blue Jeans, created in 1976, belongs to George Segal's Blue Jeans Series, a group of works in which the artist turned his sustained attention to the quiet dignity of ordinary figures rendered in intimate, contemplative scale. Executed in etching and aquatint in colors on watermarked Fabriano paper, the print demonstrates Segal's remarkable ability to translate the sculptural weight and psychological stillness of his three-dimensional practice into a two-dimensional medium. The layered aquatint tones build a softly atmospheric surface, lending the figure a tactile presence that feels consistent with his broader preoccupation with the human body as a site of everyday meaning rather than idealized form. Published by 2RC Edizioni d'Arte in Rome, whose blindstamp appears on the sheet, this impression belongs to a carefully controlled edition of 55, underscoring the seriousness with which Segal approached printmaking as a distinct artistic discipline rather than a secondary pursuit. The substantial sheet size, measuring nearly 39 by 28 inches, gives the composition room to breathe, while the image itself commands attention through its restrained palette and the grounded, unaffected presence of its subject. The work is hand signed and numbered by the artist, and arrives in excellent condition accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. For collectors of American postwar and figurative art, this print represents a compelling intersection of Segal's thematic concerns and his engagement with the rich collaborative printmaking culture of 1970s Rome. His partnership with 2RC produced some of his most accomplished works on paper, and this piece stands as a refined example of that output, combining material quality, provenance integrity, and the unmistakable humanity that defines his artistic legacy.
