About Canoe Lips 15/50
Toronto Pop Artist Charles Pachter is known for his clever and engaging work that celebrates iconic Canadian images. The canoe…overturned on a dock says, ‘summer at the lake’ and this bright red version, amusingly, does look like freshly painted red lips. The frame is uncluttered and bordered by navy blue, black walls of the boathouse, a patch of bright blue sky in the background and a graying dock. Lithograph number 15 of 50.“High School.
