It becomes obvious when you realize that the characters you see do not yet have arms. This was an evolutionary painting before my grapes even had leaves. At the time this painting was done, I could not afford to publish it. I was just completing a cigar series, which had been the focus of my work during the 12 months before I painted Smoking Grapes. This painting was a Segway into the art that I would be known for. It is a pleasure to revisit this early work and share it with my collectors.\" ~ Michael Godard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a gallery wrapped canvas that is ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist's Proof features a 1 Color Paint Embellishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallery Proof features a 5 Color Paint Embellishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"godard-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs Smoking Grapes signed and numbered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoking Grapes's Signed and Numbered edition carries Michael Godard's hand signature along with its individual number.

As in nearly everything in Michael Godard's catalog, the grapes carry the same comic energy as his martini olives. Godard's now-famous olive characters were not planned as a career move; they grew out of a birthday commission for a friend who wanted something built around dirty martinis. The animated, personified olives he painted for that occasion turned out to be the idea that defined the rest of his output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Michael Godard","offers":[{"title":"17.5\" x 22\" G Edition of 250","offer_id":14825122299967,"sku":"","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28\" x 35\" Signed and Numbered Edition of 150","offer_id":14825122332735,"sku":"","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28\" x 35\" Artist's Proof Edition of 50","offer_id":14825122365503,"sku":"","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28\" x 35\" Gallery Proof Edition of 25","offer_id":14825122398271,"sku":"","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/2238\/3935\/products\/Smoking-Grapes-by-Michael-Godard.jpg?v=1559585972","url":"https:\/\/michaelgodardgallery.com\/products\/michael-godard-smoking-grapes","provider":"Michael Godard Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
