Frank Ivo van Damme - Ex Libris Design Woman with Conch Shell and a Falling Star

Ex-Libris Design (Woman with Conch Shell, & a Falling Star)

Frank Ivo van Damme's original linocut, "Ex-Libris Design" was created around 1970. This ex-libris bookplate is printed upon thin laid paper and with full margins as published by van Damme and is signed in the block with Frank Ivo van Damme's characteristic monogramme. It depicts a night scene with a woman bathing in a river. She is holding a conch shell to her ear and a bright falling star can be seen in the sky. This is a fine, original example of the influential art created by the Belgian artist, Frank-Ivo van Damme.
 
Title: Ex-Libris Design (Woman with Conch Shell, & a Falling Star)
Artist: Van Damme, Frank-Ivo (Belgium, 20th century)
Date: c. 1970
Medium: Original Linocut
Source: Ex-Libris Bookplate
Note: Frank-Ivo van Damme: One of the most famous masters of erotic Ex-Libris is Belgium's Frank Ivo van Damme. Since 1960 he has exhibited his linocuts, woodcuts and drawings throughout major European venues. He has created over 350 commissioned Ex-Libris plates as well as illustrating a number of books in Flemish and other languages, such as Bijwijlen lief, bijwiljen leed (1981) and Bevrijd van alle nood (1984). This original linocut depicts a night scene with a woman bathing in a river. She is holding a conch shell to her ear and a bright falling star can be seen in the sky.
  Ex-Libris etchings, engravings and woodcuts date all the way back to the mid fifteenth century. Their function was initially quite utilitarian as miniature prints used to signify the ownership of books. As private libraries and their owners gained more wealth and prestige, however, so did their ex-libris bookplates. Pictorial imagery became as important as the wording and titles and the finished work of art came to stand as the owner's claim to posterity. Before long, famous artists were commissioned by prominent collectors to make their ex-libris art and during the centuries such masters as Durer, Holbein, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rockwell Kent all contributed significantly to this great form of art.
  The golden age for the ex-libris print, however, began during the early twentieth century and continues to this day. In the Art Deco decades of the 1920's and 1930's the collecting of ex-libris etchings, linocuts and wood engravings reached such a peak that many artists in Europe and America devoted themselves almost exclusively to this area. In France, Henri Berengier and Valentin Le Campion gained an international reputation for their ex-libris art and were constantly commissioned by book collectors around the world. In our times many prominent artists have distinguished themselves in this field, such as Antonio Grimaldi (Italy), Frank Ivo van Damme (Belgium), Masao Ohba (Japan), Ladislav Rusek (Czech Republic), David Bekker (Ukraine) and Anneke Kuyper (Holland). And during this era as well erotic subjects have become a major genre of Ex-Libris artists.
