"Mr. George"
"The Primitives That I Am"-Orange Single Impression
"The Primitives That I Am"
Original Drawing on acetate (for woodblock printing) · Framed · Signed Mary Dilworth Turner
A portrait of uncommon dignity. Mr. George stands holding corn — his hands as expressive as his face, the wood grain of the block becoming the grain of the world he inhabits. This is portraiture that remembers rather than poses.

Hand-colored woodblock print on paper · Signed, titled, and dated 1976–1977 · With handwritten margin notes in the artist's hand · 17" × 8"
The most significant single piece I currently have available from the Turner estate. Titled, dated, signed, and annotated in her own hand along the left margin — this is a primary document of her artistic identity, made in the year she was completing her studies under Lamar Dodd. The title is a declaration. The margin notes are a conversation with herself. The coloring is done directly over the print in her signature palette of rose, lavender, and warm orange.

Three woodblock impressions on a single sheet · Heavy kraft paper · Unsigned · 18" × 24"
Three pulls from the same block printed on a single sheet — a printer's proof document showing the consistency of the impression across the run. The composition is raw and powerful — four masked figures, confronting the viewer directly. This is among the most visually striking pieces in the collection and one of the clearest windows into her printmaking process.

Woodblock print · Dark brown ink on orange ground · Heavy paper · 15½" × 9½"
A single impression of the Primitive Woman composition on a warm orange substrate — the block printed in deep brown so the figures emerge from the color rather than from white space. The effect is entirely different from the black-on-kraft proof sheet — warmer, more grounded, closer to the earth. A strong standalone piece from the same series.
