Description |
40 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 thirty six through thirty nine are displayed on top of print thirty five. A dark layering of gray is present throughout the room's edges and corners, providing the space with a greater sense of depth. A shadow is now present underneath the white outline of a chair and the fire poker's stand. The corners of the room have more definition and break the multicolored wallpaper up into three sections. The scroll atop the room on the right side of the print has darken shadows around it's bends and folds as well as words across it's surface. The circular form above is displayed in a similar way. A small hint of shading is present underneath the duck on the left side of the print as well. The rest of the print remains the same as shown in print thirty five. |
