Platemark: prints and the printmaking ecosystem

In Platemark s3e30, host Ann Shafer speaks with Ruth Fine, retired curator from the National Gallery of Art. Ruth was curator of modern prints and drawings there from 1980–2002, followed by an additional period working on special projects in modern art. Since her retirement in 2010, Ruth has been working on exhibition and writing projects, as well as sitting on the boards of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, and others. As we are releasing this episode, Ruth has an exhibition up at the Phillips Collection featuring the photographic output of Frank Stewart. The show is up June 10–September 3, 2023. Ruth is not only a consummate scholar, but also is an artist herself, bringing to her scholarship a deep understanding of making. She knew well many of the artists who were the subjects of her projects and she has wonderful stories to tell.

In Platemark s3e29, host Ann Shafer speaks with April Vollmer, an artist working in mokuhanga (Japanese color woodblock printing), who also wrote the indispensable guide to that form: Japanese Woodblock Print Workshop (Berkeley: Watson-Guptill Publications, 2015). What's mokuhanga, you ask? It's a method developed in Japan that was used to print images that are probably familiar to you, like Hokusai's Great Wave. It allows artists to work with water-based inks (more environmentally friendly) on multiple blocks to build up images, which are printed by hand using a flat paddle called a baren. Each color is carried on a separately carved block and is layered during printing. It means a lot of carving, but it also means one doesn't need a press, chemicals, or a ton of equipment. In other words, it can be done at home in your kitchen. The range of work made possible in mokuhanga is impressive. Once used for ukiyo-e prints (pictures of the floating world) in the Edo period, now contemporary artists from the world over are experimenting with its possibilities. Including April Vollmer.

In s3e28, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Linda Hults, retired professor of art history from the College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio. Linda wrote THE textbook on the history of Western prints, which any student of the topic will undoubtedly still have on their shelves. At nearly 1,000 pages, the book offers up more than 800 illustrations and covers print history from Gutenberg through the early 1980s. It also includes incredibly thorough notes, bibliography, glossary, and index. It is indispensable. Since retirement, Linda continues to contribute to the field essays and articles ranging in subjects from the devil and witchcraft to masculinity. Episode image by Linda Hults.

In Platemark s3e27, host Ann Shafer talks with Emma Nishimura, an artist and professor based in Toronto. Emma works in printmaking, photography, sculpture, and installation. Her work addresses ideas of inherited memory and trauma with a specific focus on the experiences her family and thousands of other Japanese Canadians endured during and following their forced incarceration during the Second World War.

Platemark s3e26's guest is Jennifer Mack-Watkins, an artist and children's book illustrator based in Savannah, GA. Her work looks at social conformities that limit us and box us in, whether beauty, relationships, body image, power, or gender roles. Her work often features young African-American children playing, celebrating their innocence and freedom, as well as imagination. Jennifer recently illustrated a children's book called You Gotta Meet Mr. Pierce! and she is currently on a book tour. The process of how the book came together with two authors (Chiquita Mullins Lee and Carmella Van Vleet) and an illustrator (Mack-Watkins) is fascinating. Episode photo by Miranda Barnes.

Platemark s3e25's guest is Michael Barnes, an artist and professor at Northern Illinois University who specializes in lithography. In addition to deep knowledge of how lithography works, Michael is also an historian of the technique and a collector. Michael's prints are set in strange desolate lands and feature figures engaged in absurd tasks. While these surreal visions come straight from the artist's imagination, workers trapped in a farcical dystopian future is something to which we can all relate. Michael's spot-on compositions and consummate draftsmanship make these odd circumstances and their cognitive dissonance crystal clear. Ann was extra interested in talking with Michael because he, obviously, knows what he's doing with lithography and she hoped to get an in-depth explanation of the process. In addition, he also is an historian of the technique and a collector as well. Settle back and enjoy the conversation as they geek out about all things litho. Franz Hanfstaengl (German, 1804–1877).

In s2e28, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig conclude their two-part conversation about Claude Mellan. An encounter with Mellan's best-known work, The Holy Face of Christ on St. Veronica's Sudarium, is to be a witness to greatness. The engraving is an extraordinary feat by Claude Mellan and is a high-water mark in the history of prints. The artist had a magical ability to create an image of unparalleled pathos and intricacy using a single spiraling line. In this episode, Tru and Ann talk about this miraculous engraving along with a few other goodies. Get ready for an engaging discussion with Tru as they explore the depths of Mellan's remarkable work, uncovering the artist's mastery of technique and vision. And be prepared, they flung a few f-bombs about here and there. Claude Mellan (French, 1598–1688). The Sudarium of Saint Veronica, 1649. Engraving. Plate : 16 7/8 x 12 3/8 in.

In s3e24, host Ann Shafer speaks with Steve Goddard, curator emerita from the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Steve's specialty is prints of northern Europe (1450–present), although he has been known to stray into the graphic arts of the World War One era, as well as prints that sit at the intersection of art and the biological sciences. I'm sharing some of his favorite prints here. A beloved educator, Steve has inspired generations of students with his engaging and insightful approach to teaching. His connoisseurship and history of prints classes are legendary. Platemark listeners will have heard several guests remark on Steve's passion and energy for print lore. In fact, he is that particular professor for many people—the one that got them into art history. Now retired and living in Estes Park, CO, Steve continues to research and write on favorite topics, and he is making prints himself.

In s2e27, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig begin a two-part conversation about Claude Mellan, who engraved the most astonishing portrait of Jesus Christ in the history of art.

In s2e26, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig conclude their conversation about Jacques Callot, where there is always more than meets the eye. He's of interest for many reasons, including his practice of making faster-to-create etchings look like more-time-consuming engravings using his éschoppe. He is the first printmaker in Western art to record the atrocities of war. He heads up any list of artists in the history of prints using them to spread news far and wide about societal ills through visual means. He created some 1,400 prints in his career (no paintings!) and made some of the most remarkable and smallest prints ever. This is the second half of the conversation. If you skipped Platemark s2e25, you might go back and listen to it before starting this one. Episode image: Jacques Callot (French, 1592–1635). Frontispiece from the series The Beggars, c. 1623.

In Platemark s3e22, host Ann Shafer talks with Laura Einstein, manager of the Gallery at the Met Store. Tucked away on the mezzanine of the bookstore at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a gallery space where limited edition, fine art prints are available for purchase. The Gallery (formerly known as the Mezzanine Gallery) has been a somewhat hidden gem at the Met since opening in the 1970s. Really affordable, wonderful prints are selected by Laura who always has time to talk shop with artist, buyers, students, and scholars. Make it a must-see on your next visit to the Met. Best to make an appointment to be sure Laura is available.

In s2e25, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig take an in-depth look at Jacques Callot, who is the first printmaker in Western art to record the atrocities of war. He heads up any list of artists using prints to spread news far and wide about societal ills through visual means. He created some 1,400 prints in his career (no paintings !) and made some of the most remarkable and smallest prints ever. This is a first half of a longer conversation. Stay tuned for part two.

In Platemark s3e21, host Ann Shafer talks with Pam Paulson, founder of Paulson Fontaine Press, Berkeley, California. After earning her MFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1982 (she was a teaching assistant for Robert Colescott), Pam cut her teeth in printmaking at Crown Point Press in downtown San Francisco. There she worked with luminaries such as John Cage and Richard Diebenkorn. In 1996, she started publishing prints as Paulson Press. She and Renée Bott joined forces as Paulson Bott Press, and following Renée's retirement in 2016, Pam is joined by Rhea Fontaine precipitating the change in name to Paulson Fontaine Press. The Press works with a fabulous array of artists and specializes in intaglio printmaking. Our conversation focuses on some of the intriguing projects Pam has worked on over the years, leading off with projects at Crown Point with artist John Cage during which the press was set on fire (on purpose).

In Platemark s3e20, host Ann Shafer talks with Kimberli Gant, curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum. While Kimberli's specialty isn't in prints per se, she is one of those unusual non-print curators who likes and appreciates prints and incorporates them into her projects. Among many projects, her work on Jacob Lawrence and his time in Nigeria led to the exhibition, Black Orpheus: Jacob Lawrence and the Mbari Club, which traveled to the Chrysler Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Toledo Museum of Art, and unlocks an area of Lawrence's oeuvre that has been overlooked. If you missed the exhibition, Kimberli's beautiful catalogue is worth acquiring. Episode image: Andar Sawyers Judy Chicago (American, born 1939). The Dinner Party, 1979. Mixed media.

Platemark s2e24 concludes hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig's conversation on reproductive prints. The stars of this episode are Hendrick Goltzius and Peter Paul Rubens. It's about the business of prints, artists getting their designs out there, and how these very transportable pieces of paper travelled throughout Europe and became catalogues of images for artists. Paper museums, if you will. Once again, for clarity, a reproductive print is one in which an artist creates a design (a drawing, painting, sculpture) and another artist creates a print after that original design. These can be sanctioned by the first artist or not or they can occur long after the first artist's death. It is customary to acknowledge all the artists in the strip of lettering at the bottom of the print (called the address). This way credit is given where due. Over time, reproductive prints became quite formulaic and staid—wait until we get to the early-nineteenth century. When photography was developed in the 1830s, it wasn't long before there was little need for the reproductive print. But without them, there is virtually no history of prints in the West.

In s3e19, host Ann Shafer talks with Maryanne Ellison Simmons, printer and owner of Wildwood Press in St. Louis, MO. She and her husband, baseball hall-of-famer Ted Simmons, also collect contemporary art. A large portion of the collection is now at the Saint Louis Art Museum where it was celebrated in an exhibition in 2022. Listeners may remember that Ann and Tru Ludwig traveled to St. Louis to see this exhibition and interview curator Elizabeth Wyckoff (s3e7), artist Tom Huck (s3e4 and s3e13), and Ted and Maryanne. Sadly, the audio file from the conversation with the Simmonses was corrupt, so Ann circled back and interviewed Maryanne without Ted (sorry, Ted). But it gave them an opportunity to talk about not only the collection and the exhibition, but also Wildwood Press. Episode image: Brian Cummings.

In s3e18, host Ann Shafer talks with dealer Susan Teller, whose eponymous gallery operates out of the Mana Fine Arts facility in Jersey City, NJ. Susan specializes in American paintings and works on paper of the mid-twentieth century. She also works with multiple artists' estates including Peggy Bacon, William Baziotes, Bernarda Bryson Shahn, Sue Fuller, Michael J. Gallagher, Peter Grippe, Fannie Hillsmith, Hugh Mesibov, Angelo Pinto, Anne Ryan, Louis Schanker, Karl Schrag, Judith Shahn, Ben Shahn, Mitchell Siporin, Harry Sternberg, Ansei Uchima, and Lynd Ward. Ann was eager to talk with Susan about managing artists' estates. How do family members approach a pile of stuff in the attic by aunt so-and-so? And, of course, Susan's relationships with families of many of the women who worked at the New York Atelier 17 in the 1940s and 1950s was too intriguing for Ann to pass up. https://instagram.com/stg568 https://www.susantellergallery.com Mana Contemporary, Jersey City, NJ.

Platemark s2e23 continues hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig's conversation on reproductive prints. Once again, for clarity, a reproductive print is one in which an artist creates a design (a drawing, painting, sculpture) and another artist creates a print after that original design. These can be sanctioned by the first artist or not or they can occur long after the first artist's death. It is customary to acknowledge all the artists in the strip of lettering at the bottom of the print (called the address). This way credit is given where due. Over time, reproductive prints became quite formulaic and staid—wait until we get to the early 19th century. When photography was developed in the 1830s, it wasn't long before there was little need for the reproductive print.

In s3e17, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with print dealer Jeannot Barr, who organized the first (and many subsequent) New York Print Fair in 1984. They touch on pricing, buying at auction, fair organization, and a host of other business-of-art topics. They delve into the Ferdinand Roten Gallery (based in Baltimore) and his traveling mini print fairs set up in various schools and universities in the second half of the twentieth century. They also touch upon the Associated American Artists, whose tag line was Art in Every Home, as well as the proliferation of regional print collectors' clubs.

In s3e16, host Ann Shafer speaks with Hope Saska, chief curator and director of academic engagement at the CU Art Museum, that's the museum at the University of Colorado Boulder. Hope's specialty is in 18th-century British graphic satire and caricature. But like so many curators of works on paper, she can talk to you about Albrecht Dürer through tomorrow. CU Art Museum recently become the repository of the archive of the print publisher Shark's Ink, Lyons, CO. The Sharkive contains prints and related materials—all printed by Bud and Barbara Shark in the last 40 years—of collaborative work in lithography, monotype and woodcut. According to CU's website: "It contains the final print from each of more than 700 limited editions and a rich assortment of preparatory materials—drawings, reference materials, color trial proofs, proofs with paper alternatives and artist and printer notes, and color separation proofs—that reveal the artistic and the printmaking processes." You can read more here: https://www.colorado.edu/cuartmuseum/collection/sharkive. In addition, the Art Museum has an exhibition on view through July 2023 featuring highlights from the Sharkive. Hope and Ann geek out over how in the world does one wrangle such a gift, down to the numbering system used to track all the various bits. It's always fun to think about the nitty gritty of managing a sizeable collection. Some of the ins and outs may surprise Platemark listeners.

In s3e15, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with printer Julia D'Amario, who has been the printer at the Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking Residency at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in Otis, OR, since 2002. Formerly she printed for Pace Prints in New York from 1989–2008. In between all that, since 2008 she has spent summers printing for Jim Dine in his Walla Walla, WA, studio. In fact, Dine lists Julia among his favorite printers—and he has worked with many, many printers across the world. If that weren't enough, Julia is set to open her home shop to artists in the near future. In this episode, Julia, whose specialty is intaglio prints, relates her early experience at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Studio, where she met future Pace Prints colleague and Platemark guest Bill Hall. She tells us about favorite projects at Pace and Sitka, working with Jim Dine, and her love of prints and printmaking. Episode image: Lainie Koch. Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Otis, Oregon.

In Platemark s3e14, host Ann Shafer speaks with James Ehlers, professor and chair of the studio art department at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas. It turns out, Emporia State offers the only BFA in engraving arts in the United States. Platemark listeners will know Ann has a soft spot for intaglio prints with an abiding love of engraving due to her studies of Stanley William Hayter. With so few artists working in engraving these days, the chance to speak with the professor of that discipline at the only US college to offer it was too good to pass up. The most surprising thing was the popularity of engraving courses as it applies to objects rather than prints. Beautiful, intricate swirling designs adorn jewelry, rifles, and knives.

More on reproductive prints, the backbone of the history of prints

In a Platemark first we speak with a previous guest for a special update. Artist Tom Hück agreed to talk to hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig at his Evil Prints studio in Park Hills, Missouri, in August 2022. Hück is releasing his latest print edition on Thanksgiving Day, a rumination on American gluttony called Monkey Mountain Kronikle. Created over a number of years, Monkey Mountain Kronikle is a large-scale, double-sided woodcut triptych that opens and closes like a traditional altarpiece. It stars Lord Aporkalyptus and his bevy of brides. Dubbed a "devotional woodcut for the ages," the triptych is full of details about gluttony in terms of sports, politics, and of course, fast food. Co-published by Evil Prints and Peacock Visual Arts in Aberdeen, Scotland, Monkey Mountain Kronikle is epic, biting, sarcastic, funny, and would make Hück's hero Albrecht Dürer proud. Hück has had a seriously busy fall. In addition to finishing the edition, his work was featured in last summer's Saint Louis Art Museum's exhibition Catching the Moment, and a lavish book on Hück's output (1995-2020) has just been published by Fine Print Small Press (fineprintsmallpress.com). In our interview, Hück talks about the new project and a host of other things. Ann knew very well that the first face-to-face meeting of Tru and Hück would be monumental. Platemark listeners can imagine that they would have lots to talk about. Ann simply wound them up and let them go.

Platemark series two, A History of Western Prints, returns with an episode about reproductive prints. In s2e21, Tru Ludwig takes listeners back to a time when lives were lived with no images save for maybe what one saw in church. Prints were the way the first images were widely consumed; they were that era's internet. A reproductive print is one in which an artist's creation (a drawing, painting, or sculpture) is recreated by another artist as a print after that original design. These can be sanctioned by the first artist or not. They can occur long after the first artist's death. It is customary to acknowledge all the artists in the strip of lettering at the bottom of the print (called the address). This way credit is given where due. Over time, reproductive prints became quite formulaic and staid. When photography was developed in the 1830s, it wasn't long before there was little need for the reproductive print. Those interpretations of an artwork were replaced with actual photographic reproductions of the images. In addition, arbiters of taste have created false hierarchies of subject matter and techniques and have designed an entire framework around originality and uniqueness. Prints can keep up with subject matter but have generally gotten the short stick on these other counts. There is also the matter of property rights, copyright, etc. Keep in mind these are concepts that developed over time and were not matters of law until rather recently. All of these issues are wrapped up in Tru's tale about reproductive prints. Enjoy the ride. Episode images: (LEFT) Martin Schongauer (German, 1445–1491). Baptism of Christ, 1481 or before. Engraving.

In s3e12, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Maureen Warren, curator of European and (North) American art at the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. For ten years Maureen has been studying, researching, and writing about prints in the Dutch Republic, which was the basis of her dissertation at Northwestern University. At long last, all that hard work has come to fruition in an exhibition and scholarly catalogue. Fake News & Lying Pictures: Political Prints in the Dutch Republic examines the visual strategies of Dutch printmakers and the ways they used images to promote political interests. The exhibition runs from August 25–December 17, 2022. The exhibition travels to other venues: University Galleries, University of San Diego, February 10–May 12, 2023; and Smith College Museum of Art, September 15, 2023–January 7, 2024. The project got major support from the Getty Foundation Paper project, formally known as The Paper Project: Prints and Drawings Curatorship in the 21st Century. The funds are meant to help an early-career curator see a major projects to completion. There are, of course, other supporters to the project. A full list is over on the Krannert's website: https://kam.illinois.edu/exhibition/fake-news-lying-pictures-political-prints-dutch-republic.

In s3e11, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with artist LaToya M. Hobbs whose commissioned installation will be on view as visitors enter the IFPDA Print Fair at the end of October 2022. The works will be front and center at the entrance and will no doubt garner lots of attention for LaToya. Speaking with LaToya was a distinct pleasure for Ann because the artist is based in Baltimore, is full-time faculty at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and recently had a monumental, five-part, carved wood piece on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which the museum subsequently purchased for its permanent collection. LaToya's work deals with figurative imagery that addresses the ideas of beauty, cultural identity, and womanhood as they relate to women of the African Diaspora. LaToya is a founding member of Black Women of Print, a collective whose vision is to make visible the narratives and works of Black women printmakers, past, present, and future. LaToya grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, received her B.A. in painting from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and earned an M.F.A. in printmaking at Purdue University. Because of LaToya's commission for the 2022 IFPDA Print Fair in New York (that's the International; Fine Print Dealers Association), that Association is sponsoring this episode of Platemark.

In s3e10, Platemark hosts Ann Shafer and Ben Levy talk with Julia Samuels, master printer and owner of Overpass Projects, Pawtucket, RI. Ann and Ben were thrilled to visit Overpass in person for the recording of this episode. It's so great to see what guests are talking about and to be able to take photographs of the space, artists, and prints. Julia creates her own work primarily in black-and-white linoleum cuts, but is, in fact, a natural colorist—it comes easily to her. She is on a mission to economize colors for artists she works with, and she often creates palettes for them to plan their projects from. She has created such palettes for artists working in both screenprint and etching—two very different techniques requiring different approaches to layering colors. Sounds complicated, and, for me, it is. See if you agree. Ben Levy, Julia Samuels, and Ann Shafer at Overpass Projects, August 2022. Overpass Projects, Pawtucket, RI.

In s3e9 of Platemark, host Ann Shafer talks with James Siena and Katia Santibañez. Both artists, who are married to each other, are painters and printmakers who split their time between New York City and Otis, MA. In the past few years, they have collaborated on four reduction woodcuts with Shore Publishing. An exhibition of the full sets of working proofs for these collaborations were recently on view at Shore Publishing's sister gallery, Cheymore Gallery. Their work complements each other's and their collaboration with May Shore is truly wonderful. Find out how they met and how much they love working with master printers like Shore, Felix Harlan, Theo Lotz, and Phil Sanders.

In s3e8, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Dave Cloutier who recently opened Center Arts and Studios (CAS) in the Mill Centre, Baltimore. CAS offers classes, equipment, critiques, guidance, and studio spaces to second-career artists. A passion project for Dave, it has long been his goal to encourage artists and their meaningful work to find each other. His belief in letting the work that needs to be made be made means giving over one's conscious self and embracing that mysterious place inside all of us, our subconscious. It takes maturity, patience, and generosity to get to that place, but Dave is intent on helping second-career artists find their voice. It's an exciting development in the artistic landscape of Baltimore and one that will no doubt appeal to many. This episode introduces Dave and the program to the world and offers an invitation to come see what CAS is all about. Dave welcomes visitors and loves talking about art, inspiration, and listening intently to one's mind. Find out why Ann called him a unicorn. Dave has been a faculty member at the Maryland Institute College of Art for sixteen years. He earned his MFA from the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting in 2005, and his BFA in painting and art therapy from the University of The Arts in Philadelphia in 1991. Prior to his role at MICA, Dave taught in community arts throughout Baltimore for Clayworks and Towson University's Community Arts program. Dave has worked with teens, adults, and older adults in psychiatric settings as an activities therapist and in direct patient care, continuing this work as a certified nursing assistant in nursing facilities specializing in caring for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. It is with all this experience that Dave will guide you along a path toward self-actualization. Episode image of Dave Cloutier by Elizabeth English.

In s3e7, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig sit down with Elizabeth Wyckoff, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Saint Louis Art Museum, to talk about the exhibition Catching the Moment: Contemporary Art from the Ted L. and Maryanne Ellison Simmons Collection, which ran June 26–September 11, 2022. The Simmons collection provides an opportunity to take a deep dive into three artists they collected in depth: Kiki Smith, Enrique Chagoya, and Tom Huck. Other artists in the exhibition include Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Bruce Nauman, Michael Barnes, H.C. Westermann, Tony Fitzpatrick, and Kara Walker. The major through line is works that critique a broad range of social, political, and art historical concepts. There's lots to chew on in this show, but we're also there to talk to Elizabeth about her career as a curator of works on paper. Elizabeth, like so many curators of prints and drawings, is responsible for works of art on paper from the 15th century through tomorrow, even though her dissertation focused on Dutch print publisher Jan Pietersz Berendrecht, who was active in Haarlem in the 1620s. Hear about living in Amsterdam while researching Berendrecht, working with the Simmonses, and what her (fictitious) retirement gift will be.

In s3e6, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Bill Hall, master printer (retired) at Pace Prints for nearly thirty years. His earliest years in New York were spent working at the legendary Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. After his arrival at Pace Prints, his intaglio skills were honed under the tutelage of Aldo Crommelynck, the legendary printer of many of Picasso's late prints. At Pace, he was in charge of the intaglio area bringing those talents to bear on prints by legendary artists like Jim Dine, Helen Frankenthaler, Chuck Close, Robert Mangold, and Tara Donovan. Bill is a soft-spoken, southern gentleman and an artist in his own right. Now retired from Pace, Bill and his wife, Sara, live in Asheville, NC. His work is represented by Momentum Gallery in Asheville. Robert Blackburn, 1987 (photo by Peter Bellamy). Marjorie Van Dyke and artist Richard Giglio at VanDeb Editions, 2021.

They talk about Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Albrecht Dürer's Rhinoceros, and the rest of Hück's heroes. And, the artist explains why his Midwestern surname carries a German umlaut.

Both entities are affiliated with the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

In s2e20, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig conclude their discussion of Rembrandt van Rijn, the man who made etching was it is today. In this third of three episodes on Rembrandt, they tackle his etchings of religious scenes. Rembrandt made a lot of them and they are intense. They are special because Rembrandt humanizes the people in them, which really hadn't happened before. It's almost as if viewers can find themselves in the scenes.

In s2e19, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig continue talking about the best etcher ever, Rembrandt van Rijn. In this second of three episodes on Rembrandt, they tackle genre scenes (those would be scenes of everyday life) and portraits. Rembrandt is the consummate storyteller and in these etchings he gives us regular, everyday people like print dealers, cooks, beggars, and even rat catchers. His etchings are brimming with life. Remember, Rembrandt lives in Amsterdam, which is part of Holland, a country that had recently gained independence from Catholic Spain. These subjects are new territory for us. In addition, Ann talks about a second female artist: Geertruydt Roghman. Episode image: Rembrandt (Dutch, 1606–1669). Beggars Receiving Alms at the Door of a House, 1648.

In Platemark e2e18, Tru Ludwig and Ann Shafer begin a three-parter about the master of etching, Rembrandt van Rijn. In this first episode on RvR, Tru sets the stage and takes us through some of Rembrandt's key landscape etchings, including the iconic The Three Trees. (The second episode looks at genre—scenes of everyday life—and portraiture; the third looks at religious imagery.) It's funny, but every landmark in the history of prints seems like a reaction against what came before it. Remember, we really haven't seen anyone take up etching with this much success so far. It's been engraving and woodcut until now with very few exceptions. Don't get me wrong, I love a good reproductive engraving (witness the last episode on Hendrick Goltzius). But the shift from those formulaic, highly structured images to the flowing and sketchy lines of Rembrandt is huge. And it sets the bar for and forever changes what we mean by autographic etching. Plus, remember how subject matter has shifted due to the Protestant Reformation, which called for a ban on idolatrous images. Yes, there are still religious images being made—the Catholic Church is still a major patron. But it's no wonder landscapes, genre scenes, portraits, and still lifes become a thing, especially in Protestant countries like the northern part of the Netherlands (which would become Holland), where Rembrandt lived his whole life.

In s2ep17, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk about one of their favorite engravers of all time, Hendrick Goltzius. A Dutchman, Goltzius was preternaturally gifted with a burin and made glorious prints of all sorts. Ann's favorite is the Farnese Hercules, a large engraving showing two Dutchmen looking up at a giant sculpture of Hercules, which viewers see from behind. Quirky and wonderful, these prints are worth a deep dive. In s2ep17, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk about one of their favorite engravers of all time, Hendrick Goltzius.

In s2ep16, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk about the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter Reformation that affected so much of the 16th century in Western Europe.

In s2ep15, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig continue talking about game-changer Martin Luther and the effects of his 95 theses against the Catholic Church, which brought about the Protestant Reformation in 1517.

In s2ep14, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig look at Martin Luther and the effects of his 95 theses against the Catholic Church. Once the only patron of the arts, the Church faced a reckoning when Martin Luther brought about the Protestant Reformation in 1517. In addition to getting rid of the intercessor (the church and its priests), Protestantism calls for no images to distract. What's an artist to do in these newly Protestant countries (Germany and Flanders for this episode's purposes)? One could turn to landscape, portraiture, still lifes, myths, and fantastical subjects. Or one could turn to biting criticism of the politics of the church and the schism with the Protestants. Episode image: Lucas van Leyden (German, c. 1494–1533). The Milkmaid, 1510. Engraving.

Platemark host Ann Shafer is thrilled to announce the first Baltimore Fine Art Print Fair is scheduled for April 29-May 1, 2022. Ann and Tru Ludwig talk about the print fair's origins as a production of the Print, Drawing & Photograph Society of the Baltimore Museum of Art. That former fair ran from 1990-2017, and has been shuttered. Ann, along with partners Brian Miller and Julie Funderburk, have created a new, commercial art fair. More than twenty presses, publishers, dealers, and galleries will be in town offering the latest in contemporary prints and editions. The fair takes place at 1100 Wicomico Street in Baltimore's Pigtown neighborhood. The gigantic 1915 warehouse boasts 44K plus square feet of space on its top floor and offers panoramic views of the city. A convenient parking garage is attached to the building (entrance on Ostend Street). ADA access is through the front door on Wicomico Street. Details and tickets are available at baltimoreprintfair.com.

In episode 12, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig discuss the titan of Venetian painting, Titian, who happened to also make prints. Plus Ann and Tru take a deep dive into the epic first book of anatomy, Vesalius' On the Fabric of the Human Body, 1543. It turns out Titian had a hand in some of the woodcut illustrations in it.

In s2e11, Tru Ludwig and Ann Shafer talk about chiaroscuro woodcuts before moving on to the Mannerist painter and printmaker Parmigianino. Coming off the High Renaissance and the Sack of Rome in 1527, artists were looking for ways to shake it up. Out goes the solid forms and placid emotions and in comes the twisting, off-kilter compositions and extremes in emotions. Parmigianino is the first to really take up etching in a meaningful way (it's been engraving until this point--remember, Dürer tried etching but hated it). Tru makes the case for Parmigianino as a crucial creator. Ann becomes a fan. Episode image: Parmigianino (Italian, 1503–1540). Entombment, c. 1527–30. Etching. Sheet: 13 1/16 x 9 7/16 in.
