Subject: [Baren 15192] Monet and Japanese art 

Jan, sounds like a fabulous exhibition!!  Wish I was there.  There is a room 
in the Museum of Modern art here in NYC which, when you enter, you are 
surrounded by Monet's beautiful water lilies. I will never forget one day I 
went there, feeling extremely depressed because of a back injury (this 
happened in one of my "past creative lives" as a modern dancer about 20 yrs 
ago) and the water lilies lifted my spirit so.  I felt that I had escaped to 
another world for a time.
best wishes all,
Sarah

Hello everyone!  I've been a lurker for a while now...haven't had much =
time
to even read my digest.

But, nevertheless, at this time I come to you all for some help.

I'm applying for a fellowship and am working on putting together my =
resume.
Naturally, I want to include my participation in the Baren exchanges.  =
But,
I've lost track of where and when the exchanges that I have participated =
in
have been exhibited.

Could someone (or maybe a few of you) help me out with this?  I'm looking
for info on the Dragon Exchange (2000) and Baren Exchanges #5 and #8.

Subject: [Baren 15194] Big Print Exchange

Rudolph, I think I will not be able to make 24 big prints.  Realistically, I
don't have a press or the time to make that many by hand.  I guess I will
have to drop out of that exchange.  But thanks for doing it.  I will look
forward to seeing the delicious images on the web.

Hi all
I've been off line again for a while the Internet company that I was with
went out of business.   My new address is mailto:jryrie66@hotmail.com

I have an exhibition opening today at the American Conciliate in Melbourne,
not open to the public it's just for people going there on business
meetings, getting passport's, smuggling Cuban cigars etc.  It has Paintings,
Prints, Sculpture and a book.   also I have some paintings that have gone
over to the Toronto Art far.  I think that starts in October.

John

Jan,
What a great exhibition and how lucky you were to get to see it. No matter
how many times I look at Monet, and how  his work becomes, to see it
in person and put yourself in the time he painted, it is pretty awesome.
But, being a printmaker I would have been in the rooms with the woodcuts
salivating with you. I was taught, many long years ago in Art History 101,
that the Impressionists were greaty influenced by Japanese woodcuts which
they mostly saw on the throw-away packing materials that the Japanese
imports arrived in. They would plow thru the garbage, as it were, from the
various places that received goods from the Orient, and I'm sure some made
arrangements with shopkeepers to save the good stuff for them.  At any rate,
the influence of the woodcuts on Western art via the Impressionist painters
cannot be denied. It always amazes me when people come into the Northwest
Print Council gallery and have no notion of what a woodcut is. Good grief,
where do these folks hang out?? Just a few thoughts for the day -

Happy printing,
Sharri
