Acupuncturist. 69/150. Lithograph. The approximate paper
size is 20" x 16" and the image size is 16" x 11". The lithograph
was acquired with the full suite in l981. The lithograph is signed
and numbered in pencil. This work is a monochrome lithograph, black
ink with exquisite depth of color, and color gradations and drawing
detail, on handsome handmade light yellow paper, with beautiful
deckled edges. The paper on which this art is printed is worthy
of note. Created by Roland Poska, master printer and paper-maker,
it is rich and complex in its combination of unusual color and texture.
It is stunning art in itself. Poska talks about the paper's deckle
edges and explains they too are intended to be evocative of the
messages in the Doyle images. Poska says that for him the paper
mirror's the concept of a rough unfinished part of man's relationship
of man to nature. This handmade paper, similar to that relationship,
looks rough and unfinished. The relationship is a kind of work in
progress. Poska explains this life philosophy and his art paper
saying forces meet and part - like the "deckle", or irregular edge
of the paper. "...Nature is one huge deckle edge...in man's
relations [with it] forces collide...you have to work out a balance...[or]...deckle
edge...". This historically researched presentation provocatively

progress. Poska explains this life philosophy and his art paper
saying forces meet and part - like the "deckle", or irregular edge
of the paper. "...Nature is one huge deckle edge...in man's
relations [with it] forces collide...you have to work out a balance...[or]...deckle
edge...". This historically researched presentation provocatively
presents the The Vision from Japanese culture. The artwork,
margins and art surface, is in pristine condition. Close-Up

Catalogue for The Counselors suite. This 20 page color
catalogue displays the images in the suite, their legend sheets,
and the suite's justification page. Text includes historical information
from The Counselors presentation at William Mitchell Law
School and Harvard University Law Library. Line and color drawings
with handwritten anecdotal comments record stages of Doyle's research,
and illustrate information about physical, spiritual, and intellectual
foundations of law. Preliminary and intermediate drawings, color
and monochrome lithograph proofs, and photographs of the final drawings
made directly on the lithograph stones, complete a visual research
record of work process, theories and philosophies. The catalogue
closes with a Doyle biography, list of private and public collectors
and exhibitors, acknowledgments of personal relationships and associations
with renown institutions, and thanks for encouragement and contributions.

Legend : Cathedral Basilica SS. Peter and Paul.
Offset Lithograph. The paper size is 18" x 16". This handsome lithograph
is a beautifully illustrated history of the structure conceived
in 1846, one of the most enduring monuments to Philadelphia's tradition
of religious liberty. The Legend discusses and illustrates
the impressive baldachin, or canopy, that covers the main altar,
the gleaming capitals and entablature which are cast in bronze,
and treasures displayed within including a silver chalice lined
with gold that was given to St. John Neumann in 1852 by the people
of the diocese upon his elevation to bishop in 1852. The cathedral
is known throughout the Catholic world for its collection of religious
and secular art, including the original decorative work by Constantino
Brumidi, who also decorated the United States Capitol dome. The
artwork, margins and art surface, is in pristine condition.
