These 14 monoprints are from my recent series, Whitman 200, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of America’s greatest poet, Walt Whitman. The images of Walt are from the Library of Congress. The large outdoor photographs are from antique 5″ x 7″ glass negatives from the early 1900’s which I found at an estate sale 35 years ago. I scanned them and digitally altered them to make the images more legible. I then printed them larger (12″ x 16.5″) and tinted them using a monoprint plate and inks. If you have not done so recently, crack open a copy of Whitman’s masterpiece, “Leaves of Grass”. It will lift your spirits and give you hope in these dark times. Mixed media monoprints with photopolymer intaglio plates, maculature, pochoir, silk screen, collage, alcohol gel transfers, colored pencil, & digital images on Arches 88. 28″w x 20″h. (2019)
