Summary
One nice thing about small artworks is that you can squeeze a lot of them into a room. The 8th annual "Small Pictures Exhibition" at the Bryan Memorial Gallery illustrates this by presenting nearly 250 mini - though not minor - works in one wing. With all the art at or under the size restriction of 16 by 20 inches, the show confirms the wisdom of the phrase "small is beautiful."
Printmaking is represented here by several pieces, executed in an array of techniques. Steve Fuller's vertical composition "Sunflowers 2" is a 6-by-4-inch woodblock print delicately tinted with watercolor. White lines of negative space separate each area of color, just as lines of lead separate pieces of stained glass. Fuller's image of a vase of flowers, a piece of fruit and a wine bottle is astutely described in complementary purples and yellows. The result is highly decorative.See the full content of this document
