Description
Jim Crabb studied printmaking at San Jose State in California with Geoff Bowman. In the 1970s Crabb worked on a series of intaglios and lithographs featuring mysterious, abstracted compositions, most printed in small editions.
Crabb creates a world of biomorphic and geomorphic forms that bring to mind early Surrealist works by Miro, Dali, Arp and others from the 1930s. Is this a microcosm from the sea, space or within our own physical being?
