About the Item

"The Bees are Dying" Original Bay Area Environmental Aquatint with Drypoint Etching with environmentalist commentary by Maria Bennett (American, 20th century.) This piece features a large bee in its center, with its head and abdomen front facing. It is a detailed rendering, with aspects such as the hairs on the bees legs individually marked with drypoint. An organic round shape sits at the bottom of the bee, potentially a cluster of bee larva. The central bee is rendered in deep brown, the larva in a golden brown. There is abstract and organic detail work surrounding the bee which is a deep and bright red. These warm tones are then contrasted by the green background, which is filled with lattice shapes and smaller bees. The artist uses a combination of aquatint and dry point to obtain areas of smooth color, as well as intricate linework with prominent raised ridges. Titled, numbered, and signed along bottom "The Bees are Dying... A/P Maria Bennett"
