작품 상세

Robert Kipniss (American, b. 1931), "The Forest Path" (?), lithograph on paper, signed lower right and editioned "artists proof" at lower left, measures 9.75 x 8.25 inches to the matt opening, overall 16.50 x 14.50 inches framed. CONDITION: Good, matt badly scuffed, offered unglazed. Robert Kipniss, painter and printmaker, was born in New York City in 1931. He creates essentially monochromatic, stylized vistas with natural and architectural elements intended to evoke an elegiac, nearly surrealistic mood in haunting, silent landscapes; the melancholy of nostalgia. Trees, in mid and far-distance, form clusters or act as misty individuals containing a haunted, indefinable presence, witnesses to the foreground drama of more specific shapes.
