1913
About the Item
Interior with a red shawl conveys a quite different mood and feeling: one of calm, and suspension of time. Here the suggestion is that the woman is waiting for something to happen, though we are given no inkling of what that might be. She could be waiting for someone on the other side of the door, or for someone to emerge from a different place entirely. Or she could simply enjoy that particular spot by the window for reading. It is amazing to me how much of a shift is depicted in the artist's renderings of women in the same interiors
Ilsted was to become widely known for his interior scenes. Using the interior of his home and members of his family as sitters, Ilsted’s subjects would be scenes set in the kitchen preparing food, or in a dining room or drawing room with or without figures, but always with an emphasis on light and its interplay on surfaces.
Ilsted begun working with the mezzotint printmaking process in 1906, when this technique was relatively uncommon in Denmark. He spent time studying and collecting English mezzotints,and “often printed his mezzotints in colour à la poupée, a technique that involves inking different areas on the plate by hand with a bundle of fabric, which allows for the use of several colours. This is a painstaking process, as the colours must be kept from mixing, and it has to be repeated for each run under the press. These truly singular coloured prints were highly sought after in his day.”
What I enjoy in these prints is the feeling they generate of having just walked into the scene at a moment of transition. They depict a pause in time, just before things change, and this creates a certain quality of anticipation and excitement. Despite their stillness, these images have a dynamic quality to them, and through them I feel drawn into the everyday workings of the Ilsted household.
These interiors evoke at once a sense of calm, as well as a sense of mystery.

View AllProfils Horizontaux (20 men seated in a church, a hall, union or political?)
By Maurice Pasternak
Located in New Orleans, LA
Viewers are always curious about this image. I count 20 people seated -- all men. Why? Three of the men are looking over their shoulders toward the back. Are they impatient to see late arrivers? The seating seems to be pew like. Pasternak, like most artists, wants the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the image and is most circumspect to give an explanation. A church, a union hall, a political meeting -- which is it? The mood seems to be one of anxiety rather than celebration.
The artist did answer why all men. He says that "he likes to create the tension of the image on the page. Putting women and men together...

Sew What (the swells and swirls of the stripes are now in the hands of others)
By Carol Wax
Located in New Orleans, LA
"Sew What" is a color mezzotint with burin engraving created in an edition of 35. This impression is #6. I love sumptuously designed textiles in both real life and art. Patterns metamorphosing over fabric folds appeal to my interest in modulating rhythmic forms, particularly the swells and swirls of calligraphic stripes. I’m also fascinated by articulated wooden hand models, which appear in many of my paintings. Combining these passions with sewing paraphernalia from my seamstress days provided inspiration for my color mezzotint engraving "Sew What".
Carol Wax originally trained to be a classical musician at the Manhattan School of Music but fell in love with printmaking. Soon after she began engraving mezzotints she was asked by the renowned print dealer...
