Description |
37 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)". A dark gray hue is displayed within a void of white highlighting shapes and forms. Faint shading can be seen on the walls of the room showing where the edges of the space lay on both the left and right walls. Dark shading connects the right wall with a shadow formed underneath the white outline of a chair. Similar shades of dark gray are present on the top right of the print where a circle and scroll are displayed. The folds and bends of the scroll are heavily defined along with the image on the circle above. |
