Est: $80 - $120
Etching, Artist's Proof, pencil signed; 4 1/4" x 3 1/4", sheet size 9 1/2" x 7". Coughlin was a member of the National Academy of Design; his work appears in the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among other places. He studied at the Art Students League in New York, and RISD, where he graduated in 1953 with a BFA in illustration. After a stint in the military, he returned to RISD to pursue an MFA in printmaking with Herbert Lewis Fink. Coughlin taught printmaking at UMASS Amherst for 35 years, and exhibited at his Golden Cod Gallery in Wellfleet each summer, along with his wife Joan Hopkins Coughlin. From Coughlin's obituary earlier this year in the Provincetown Independent: In 1965, Jack and Joan traveled through Europe by car. In addition to visiting old master print collections and art museums, Jack encountered animals in the newly opened Basel Zoo that would later appear in many of his hybrid and metamorphic prints. On that trip, Jack met Liam Miller, the publisher of the Dolmen Press, who introduced him to the art world in Dublin. Up through the 1990s, Jack regularly exhibited at the David Hendriks Gallery. He was a member of the Dublin Arts Club, and he forged friendships with printmakers including John Kelly and Alice Hanratty at the National College of Art and Design. Through his Irish connections, he met his literary hero, Samuel Beckett, in Paris in 1986. Jack made multiple portraits of Beckett and several other modern Irish writers. He later turned to portraits of classical, jazz, and blues musicians.

Jump Rope by Jack Coughlin (Born 1932) Artist Proof
Est: $300 - $500
Jump Rope by Jack Coughlin Artist Proof, Titled & Signed Bottom Margin, 19" 1/2 x 17" 1/2, From The Private Collection of Mervin Jules ack Coughlin - artist, professor, and music aficionado - was born in Greenwich, CT on February 19, 1932 and now resides in Wellfleet, MA. Coughlin, who is Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is mostly known for his skill as a printmaker, but he is equally adept in media such as pencil, watercolor, oil, and, low relief bronze sculpture in the ancient lost wax casting technique used by the old masters. His printmaking media is as diverse as his subject matter: etching, engraving, aquatint, woodcut, and lithography - as well as non graphic media - are used to create birds, animals, landscapes, marine, and portraits of the famous and not-so-famous. Coughlin's academic and illustrative style ranges from realism to surrealism and grotesque. He works in series producing portraits of literary and musical figures such as Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, Little Walter, Big Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), and James Cotton. His love of the harmonica and blues music gave rise to a series of twenty-six pencil and watercolor portraits published as "A Brush with the Blues" that, according to Joe Burns of the "Provincetown Banner", paid honor to his musical mentors. In addition to his private work, Coughlin receives many commission requests and his art has been used to illustrate books of poetry. Some of the museums and institutions represented by Jack Coughlin's work include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC; the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC; the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences in VA; the National Collection of Fine Art in Washington, DC; the Worcester Museum of Art in MA; the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, GA; the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, OK; the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Jacksonville, FL; the Frederick and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL; the Wright Museum of Art in Beloit, WI; the Frederick R.
