Christine (1990) “Genre Jazz” Signed Etching – 6/7, Framed

Genre Jazz is a limited-edition etching by artist Christine, signed and dated 4-90 in graphite at the lower right. This expressive piece captures two jazz musicians—a trumpeter and an upright bassist—in a deeply atmospheric scene rendered in rich black tones with hints of inky blue and muted texture. The stylistic approach suggests influence from modernist or cubist traditions, emphasizing moody ambiance and rhythmic forms.

This is edition 6 of only 7, a notably small print run. The work is hand-titled at the lower left and presented behind glass in a black frame with a dark mat that complements the dramatic tonality of the image. The etching is visually striking and suited for collectors of jazz art, modern printmaking, or 20th-century expressionist work.
