Beswick Classic by Frankie Lane
Senior artists at Djilpin Arts have been sharing culture for decades, ensuring knowledge is being passed on for future generations. As time passes, mobility, steady hand or vision issues increase, with the artist’s ability to document and transfer stories becoming somewhat reduced. Djilpin is supporting these artists to stay connected and maintain income by releasing their portfolio through this Classic Beswick Series.
Classic Beswick is a series of reproductions on paper. This is Classic Frankie Lane.
Material: 308gsm heavy weight acid free cotton rag art paper
