JoAnna Poehlmann - Pour le Bain (Homage to Ito Shinsue 1917)
Now on sale! Was $275, now only $192!
Lifelong Milwaukee resident and one of Wisconsin’s artistic treasures, octogenarian JoAnna Poehlmann is known for her literate sense of humor and her masterful draftsmanship.
Her Homage Pour le Bain is a tongue-in-cheek salute to all of the great artists who have used bathers as their subjects. Her placement of a color reproduction salutes artist Ito Shinsue—whose Japanese woodcut is featured above—while below she has offered the viewer a bar of Orchidee soap which she has hand drawn.
