About the Item

William Waitzman August Lake (from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Art Collection), 2016 Hand printed color silkscreen on wove paper Pencil signed and numbered 4/14 on the front Frame included: Elegantly floated and framed in a handmade wood frame with UV plexiglass Provenance: De-accessioned from the Memorial Sloan Kettering art collection (with collection labels on the back) Measurements: Framed: 22.25 inches vertical by 17.25 inches by 1.5 inch Artwork: 20 inches by 15 inches William Waitzman is an accomplished printmaker, painter, and illustrator. William strives to reflect some essence of nature in a medium that is more commonly associated with t-shirts or Pop Art. He enjoys the challenge of transcending the inherent flatness of silkscreen to create a painterly image. As an illustrator, William's work has appeared in many publications over the past 25+ years, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. The artist states: "My screen prints are hand-printed in limited editions...The starting point for a print might be a landscape that I know well, or one that I know only fleetingly. A place as it appears in a finished print could be based on a single location or could be a composite. I start by making black-and-white drawings in ink, pencil or crayon on translucent vellum – a separate drawing for each color I plan to print. Screen printing is a stencil process. Once I have completed the drawings, I use a light-sensitive emulsion to transfer the images to silkscreens. In a dark room, I drag an even coat of the emulsion across a screen (a frame with a taut mesh). When it's dry, I expose the screen, with a drawing in close contact, to UV light. This creates a stencil of the drawing, with all the details and nuances. I then mix colors and use a squeegee to pull ink through the screen and print the image onto paper. I print one color at a time on each piece of paper in an edition, building the image from background to foreground as I add successive layers over the course of days or weeks. Many of my finished prints are accumulations of ten to twenty printed layers. As I work, the source materials are transformed by qualities inherent to the medium of screen printing. The path from start to finish is rarely a straight line. The digressions along the way, the discovery and revision, influence the outcome. I feel that the subject matter is reflection, memory and time as much as it is landscape. In this digital age I am drawn more than ever to the tradition of printmaking, and to hand-printing an edition."
