Description |
12 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 has been added on top of the pervious layers (layers ten and eleven) providing the piece with a higher sense of depth. The dark gray has been added to both the wallpaper, chair cushion, and two rugs. The white outlines stand out from the wallpaper a greater deal now. Instances of no color are still present in the wallpaper displaying where the previously stated colors will be. The tiger rug has a greater implied texture to it as well. |
