“Robert Kipniss – In the twilight zone between recollection and imagination a New York painter has found a vista of mind and mood that he calls ‘the Inner Landscape’. With hushed tones, feathered brushings, and eerie chiaroscuro, he invests his scenes with the appearance of reality and the ambiance of dream.” – Time Magazine
Robert Kipniss – Painter, Printmaker, and Poet – was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1931. He studied at Wittenberg College (now University) in Springfield, Ohio, and the University of Iowa. His major was literature with a special interest in poetry. It was during his studies at the University of Iowa that Kipniss took his first official painting class.
In 1951 he entered a painting competition in New York City and was awarded his first one-artist show in a 57th Street gallery. In 1967 he made his first prints, using the drypoint technique, and soon after began making lithographs, creating over 400 images between 1968 and 1990. Since 1990 his printmaking has been almost exclusively in intaglio with the majority being mezzotints.
Robert Kipniss has work in over 70 museums worldwide and numerous private collections. Since his first show in 1951, he has had more than 180 one-artist exhibitions. Robert Kipniss has been elected to the National Academy in New York, NY, and The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in London, England. He is a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA), the Century Association, and received lifetime achievement awards from SAGA and the Artists Fellowship, Inc.

- Here They Come !By Frank W. BensonLocated in New York, NYThis impression of "Here They Come !" is from the fourth state of eight. There are six known impressions of the fourth state. Edition 150 (final state). It is signed in pencil in the lower left and inscribed "D-1". The image size 13 7/8 x 11 3/4" (34.6 x 28.8 cm) and sheet size 16 3/4 x 14 5/8" (42.8 x 37.1 cm). FRANK W. BENSON (1862-1951) Frank Weston Benson, well known for his American impressionist paintings, also produced an incredible body of prints - etchings, drypoints, and a few lithographs. Born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, Benson, a natural outdoorsman, grew up sailing, fishing, and hunting. From a young age, he was fascinated with drawing and birding – this keen interest continued throughout his life. His first art instruction was with Otto Grundman at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and then in 1883 in Paris at the Academie Julian where he studied the rigorous ‘ecole des beaux arts’ approach to drawing and painting for two years. During the early 1880’s Seymour Haden visited Boston giving a series of lectures on etching. This introduction to the European etching...Category

- Hidden Cities I / second stateBy Peter MiltonLocated in New York, NY“Hidden Cities I : The Ministry. Second State.” Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving in 2006. The printed image size is Image size 23.50 x 36.88 inches and the paper size is 31 x 42 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “11/75” – the 11th impression from the total printing of 75. “I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton” “Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul. In addition to a storied career in printmaking, since 2007 Milton has fearlessly produced artwork digitally. He now creates images using Adobe Photoshop in files consisting of more than two thousand layers, which are printed both as digital prints on paper and, for display on Led light boxes...Category
