Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN, United States. 10/25/2015 - 02/14/2016.
Exhibiting artist(s): Gustave Baumann.
Woodblock printmaking...keeps me in tune with a world where work is still of the essence and where the easiest way is not always the most desirable." - Gustave Baumann

Gustave Baumann (1881–1971) was the most devoted American color woodblock. . .
printmaker of the 20th century. By combining the craftsmanship of a woodcarver and the sensitivity of a painter, he created an unparalleled body of color woodblock prints over the course of his 65-year career.

Aside from printmaking and painting, Baumann also made furniture, fabricated toys and marionettes, designed interiors, illustrated books, and sculpted. To each of these endeavors, as attested by his personal mark, this uncommonly industrious and original artist gave both his hand and his heart.

This exhibition features prints, sketches, watercolors, marionettes, toys and gourd sculptures that Baumann created during the course of his long career. Interpretive tools, including videos and photos of the artist, interactive iPads, a touch table, and more help visitors to learn about the artist's life, his influences and artistic processes.

Prints of Darkness: The Art of Aquatint

Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN, United States. 10/31/2015 - 03/06/2016.
For centuries printmakers have experimented with a wide variety of techniques to create tonal effects in prints. Aquatint, an etching technique developed in the late 18th century, introduces a porous ground to the printing plate through the applicati. . .
on of resin that is fused to the plate before it is etched in the acid bath. The inked porous ground produces an effect akin to wash or watercolor, which artists have exploited to dramatic, evocative ends. The show features a range of works, from innovative early examples of the technique by Francisco Goya and Jean-Baptiste Le Prince to haunting, spectacular images from the 20th century by Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso.
