The Collected Works of Doris Ellen Eisen

Volume I: Lithographs, Etchings, Woodcuts, Silkscreens, & Watercolors

Beschreibung

The Collected Works of Doris Ellen Eisen is exactly that. It is a compendium of most of my prints and many of my paintings done over the last 40 years. The book is essentially a memoir, an autobiography of my life, mostly in images with a few words. Artists generally sort out their feelings and ideas with pictures, not words. When my art work was assembled and arranged in chronological order by a friend, who is both a fine artist and and a collector of my works, I was surprised to see how honest I had been about about the tragedies and joys that had assaulted me over the decades. I was also pleased see how much my skills in printmaking had grown over the years. I realized that while my prints were highly personal, the images were universal. For example, the etching of a distant angry teenager, my granddaughter, on the cover, was purchased by a women who thought that the etching was all about her own daughter. I believe all good art is honest art, and skillful art. I hope that you enjoy this book, and see the universality of it, and learn a little bit about printmaking along the way.
