Chicago printmaker Ellen Lanyon displays her exceptional drawing skills to create this large lithograph of an eagle with a fish, perched beneath an "Eagle Beak" rock outcropping, done at Landfall Press in Chicago with Master Printer Jack Lemon.
There are eagles' head rock formations thoroughout the world and this one is not identified, it may be imaginary. The composition allows the artist to explore the interplay and contrastss of the surfaces between the craggy rocks and the soft feathers of the eagle, highlighted with a bright sunlight. The eagle appears to threaten an unseen interloper who may have eyes on the its dinner, a large fish, laid out on a smooth rock.
