David Bumbeck Art

American, b. 1940

David Bumbeck's recent sculptures show appreciation for Egyptian, Greek and Renaissance imagery. Additionally, they also put a new spin on aspects of African art, Currier and Ives and a figure derived from an 18th-century Maltese painting. One need not know the specific sources of his imagery, to appreciate the artist's prolific imagination, however, one cannot fail to be impressed by his ability to translate his inspirations and enthusiasms into the assertions of an independent sensibility. Bumbeck was director of the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Gallery, from 1973–85 and has played a strategic role in the growth and development of their art collection. He has exhibited widely in the US and abroad, with solo exhibitions at Dartmouth College, the University of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff, The Mary Ryan Gallery, New York and the Everson Museum, Syracuse. His works are included in many important print collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Boston Public Library. Listed in Who's Who in American Art, Bumbeck was named Academician of the National Academy of Design, in 1992.

Signed, titled, and numbered from the edition of 15. Image of a young girl with a bird perched on her head while someone takes her photo. While the images have some resemblance to traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, their sense of whimsy, satire and irony relate more closely to contemporary life and western sensibilities. Young women and their relationships to shoes, food, and fashion provide much of Hiratsuka’s subject matter. Another group of his prints focus on landscape, flowers, and floral patterns. Hiratsuka’s graphic work has been exhibited in the Americas, Europe and Asia. He has received numerous awards in international competitions. During the last four years he has had 14 solo shows in the United States, and international solo shows in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, Munich, Germany and Geneva, Switzerland.

For Matisse (Homage to Matisse through nude and other imagery and iconography)

By David Bumbeck

Located in New Orleans, LA

David Bumbeck creates a portrait of Henri Matisse using that artist's imagery and iconography to frame the portrait. A nude in the vein of Nu Assis is a central part of the image. This impression is #25 from an edition of 65 Throughout his career Bumbeck has been passionately engaged in the study of earlier art and artists, and among his more than 1,100 former students are a number of well known and respected artists who have expressed their gratitude to him for imparting this passion. Bumbeck's art is primarily figurative, with the nude female figure a particular focus. Enamored equally of artists like Picasso, de Chirico, and Joseph Cornell, Bumbeck's sensibility is both enigmatic and mysterious. He is likely to quote de Chirico's "What shall I love if not enigma?" when asked about the subject matter of his own works. (left: David Bumbeck, Veiled Horizon, 2000-2001, bronze, 15 1/2 x 12 x 8 inches. Courtesy of the artist) The artist's recent sculptures show appreciation for Egyptian, Greek, and Renaissance imagery, but they also put a new spin on aspects of African art, Currier and Ives, and a figure derived from an 18th-century Maltese painting...

Bonnard ( French avant-garde artist Pierre Bonnard, with dreamlike imagery)

By David Bumbeck

Located in New Orleans, LA

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French painter and printmaker, as well as a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis. Bonnard preferred to work from memory, using drawings as a reference, and his paintings are often characterized by a dreamlike quality. In this image, Vermont artist David Bumbeck created a portrait of the French artist surrounded by Bonnard's iconic imagery. It is issued in a small edition of 65 and was fully illustrated in "David Bumbeck: Prints" published by the Johnson Memorial Gallery at Middlebury College in Vermont. Born in 1940, David Bumbeck received his B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and a M.F.A. from Syracuse University. For the last 20 years, he has been a professor at Middlebury College in Vermont. Bumbeck employs techniques of intaglio printmaking such as etching, aquatint, engraving and photo-transfer. The human figure has been the dominant motif in his prints for over 25 years. Exhibited: Everson Mus., 1966 (purchase prize); Boston Printmakers Nat. Exhib., 1967-68 (David Berger...
