Drawing 1.
James Boyd Brent. Intaglio Print.
Usually we book people think of printing presses as the means of producing books, for most of us dating back to printing by Gutenberg with moveable type. But for centuries artists have used presses of various kinds in their work. Many modern artists use presses. One local artist, Professor James Boyd Brent, has specialized in printmaking, which he first studied in Cambridge and London. In his classes, students at the University of Minnesota learn to use printing presses. He is a favorite of many of them, noted for his skill in teaching and for his great sense of humor.
The print here is titled “By the River at Night”. It is number 8 of 15 copies. The artist features our Mississippi River, with some very interesting people and animals!!
