Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
Today we are looking at the works of Ricardo Xavier Serment. His comic-like style draws you into his narratives of good vs. evil. Learn more about his background and his striking multimedia prints in this month's Treasures from the Vault.
When it comes to printmakers in Indiana, Rudy Pozzatti is one of the most beloved and respected--as both a skilled artist and an inspirational educator. Take a look at his prints in the #fwmoa permanent collection in this post:
Staff at #fwmoa are playing favorites! Our newest member, Education Intern Chrystel Lopez, spent her first day on the job acquainting herself with the collection. Learn why Katja Oxman's self-portrait is her #staffpick and see it on display through the end of January!
Woodblocks, the oldest form of printmaking, are the easiest and cheapest of the multiple printmaking processes. Here, we carve away the secrets of woodblocks (and woodcuts!) ahead of the new exhibition at #fwmoa ft. prints from Landfall Press.
It's Leonard Baskin's birthday month! To celebrate, we're looking at one of his prints in the #fwmoa permanent collection: "Death Among Thistles".
It's spud-tacular in the #studio today! Inspired by the warming weather and furry friends, we're making potato prints. Grab a potato and some paints and join us!
In the Studio we're exploring shape, color, and duality in our own (mini) mixed-media screens. They may not be large enough to divide a room, like Sorman's, but they’re great on a bookshelf--flip it around depending on how you feel that day!
Did you catch FWMoA's Curator of Prints & Drawings Sachi Yanari-Rizzo's Print Talk last week? If not, you can watch it on our Facebook page. Learn more about one of the highlighted artists from the talk in this post, printmaker Karsten Creightney.
As our "normal" continues to change, take a moment to contemplate the meditative quality of Vija Celmins' woodblock, "Ocean Surface", now on view at FMWoA.
Sculptor and printmaker Marie Watt uses blankets as a means of expressing both the female experience and her Native American culture.
