Description |
53 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 combination of layered prints for "A Portrayal of Its Maker (series of 61 prints)". The progress shown on prints fifty one through fifty two are displayed on top of print fifty. The bottom half of the frame around the room is now colored in with a gradient of black to orange. Only half of the frame is colored in with the upper half still devoid of color. The orange section of the frame is centered around the tiger's chin and decorates an arrowhead coming off the frame. The rest of the print remains the same as print fifty. |
