Description |
46 of 61 in Progressive Proof Series Wayne Kimball (1943) is a printmaker and professor of the fine arts. Kimball's artworks are all done using the lithograph printing process due to the media's intense color combinations, wash-like textures, and crayon tones. His art is small in size allowing him to work more intimately with his pieces and include intricate details, some with symbolic meaning. Kimball's artworks are meant to be seen with the viewer in mind and thus are devoid of concrete ideas, focusing more on conceptual thought. He leaves his work open-ended so that the viewer can interpret the meaning behind the work themselves. His work is influenced by Northern Renaissance paintings, Islamic and Indian structures, and Medieval imagery. This print is a textural layer for "A Portrayal of Its Maker (series of 61 prints)". Three objects sit within an expanse of white. Each form is colored in with a dark gray gradient of shifting hues. A chair, a man's head on a pole, and parts of a rug are shown within the white space. Varying tones decorate each objects' surface and highlight the light source reflecting off the man's head and chair. The boarder around the rug and parts of the inside pattern are detailed more intently with the dark shading. A darker gray is overtop the previous tone of print forty five. |
