Notes from the Archive: Lithography is as much an art as a craft. Robert Kipniss uses lithography in its simplest form, as it originated in 1798. He draws directly on the Bavarian limestone with a type of grease crayon, the image is then etched by the lithographer and hand cranked through a cast iron press for each color. Once the edition is complete the drawing is ground off the stone and reused.

Kipniss’s images are of imagined landscapes and interiors with a universal quality: at once subtle and intense, stark yet moody, dreamlike and realistic. His prints evoke half conscious feelings of having personally experienced this exact moment in time. Far Fields II is a modern interpretation of a traditional landscape in a distinctive and original style utilizing muted tones to further evoke a quiet contemplative mood.
