Kipniss's first print and only etching was made in 1967. That year he began producing drypoints, which he has made periodically since, although in smaller numbers than his works in other mediums. "Almost all of his drypoints have the large areas of white typical of that medium, creating much more of an effect of outdoor light than his mezzotints." < DRYPOINTS & ETCHINGS Untitled 2020, drypoint, 9.875 x 8 inches.

That year he began producing drypoints, which he has made periodically since, although in smaller numbers than his works in other mediums. Almost all of his drypoints have the large areas of white typical of that medium, creating much more of an effect of outdoor light than his mezzotints. Springfield, O . (1991) shows the typical velvety black lines of the drypoint, caused when ink adheres to the raised burr next to the furrow, but Kipniss's lines are placed more tightly than is usual in drypoints. The work is in three institutional collections, including the British Museum, London. After a long hiatus from drypoint, Kipniss has returned to the medium in his later years. Since 2016, he has completed several atmospheric compositions in the medium, working with Anthony Kirk Editions.

It is not my wish to translate visual expression into words. This is about the actual making of the work. The intricacy of this image presented me with a persistent obstacle and an irresistible allure. Difficulties in bringing the drawing from paper to copper included physical and conceptual challenges. < Back to all essays Style and Isolation 2003 Kipniss discusses how he developed his mature style in relation to his youthful admiration of major painters of the late nineteenth century and his studies at The Art Students League and The University of Iowa, concluding, “The mistakes of my youth have led me to an interesting and rewarding maturity.” Downloadable PDF Self-portrait: Petersburg, Virginia (1957) oil on canvas, 24 x 24 in., Collection of The National Academy Museum, New York.

From 1968 to 1994, Kipniss created lithographs that followed the style and content of his paintings, whether generally or specifically. A commission from a print publisher in 1968 for five editions of lithographs precipitated his adoption of lithography as a medium. < LITHOGRAPHS Hillside w/ porch & moon 1994, color lithograph, 6 x 5.125 inches.

These times were like gifts from an unpredictable printing god, and were the events that made painful failures endurable. It was essential to know my goals could be reachable." - Robert Kipniss, 2002 From 1968 to 1994, Kipniss created lithographs that followed the style and content of his paintings, whether generally or specifically. A commission from a print publisher in 1968 for five editions of lithographs precipitated his adoption of lithography as a medium. Kipniss's first lithographs were done in black and white, but by 1970 he was also working in color. He taught himself "to lay in the most delicately light silvery tones on the surface of the limestone by maintaining an exceptionally sharp point on the lithographic pencil and drawing with no pressure other than the weight of the pencil itself." He built up a support so that his hand and wrist could "dangle" over the stone. By 1994 Kipniss had completed about 450 editions of lithographs, usually of 90 to 250 impressions, at the Burr Miller studio in Manhattan. He worked from 1969 with master printer Burr Miller and then with Steve and Terry, his sons. In 1980 Kipniss began to draw on aluminum to make all of his lithographs, and by 1986 he was achieving an increased subtlety in the use of color with a light palette including "greens, blues, pinks, browns, and grays," as a critic noted that year. He added: "Kipniss enhances the remarkable purity and elegance of line in these lithographs by his restrained use of color. The delicate hues of his prints are of such extraordinary subtlety that it is only on careful examination that the viewer can recognize how complex they are, requiring as many as eight different plates to produce a single print." In 1994 Kipniss's concern with densely drawn fine tones led to increased difficulties in printing, and he gave up the medium.

In this candid memoir, Kipniss recounts the ups and downs of his early career, the failures and successes of gallery exhibitions and gaining recognition, and the joys and struggles of trying to support a family as an artist, all while tenaciously developing his unique style of landscape painting. < Back to all books Robert Kipniss: A Working Artist's Life Hardcover: consult Bookfinder for availability Published by the University Press of New England, 2011 In this candid memoir, Kipniss recounts the ups and downs of his early career, the failures and successes of gallery exhibitions and gaining recognition, and the joys and struggles of trying to support a family as an artist, all while tenaciously developing his unique style of landscape painting. "Poetry and painting were equal passions of mine until I turned thirty and became a father, and I had to earn more money. Getting an evening job meant making a choice, and I stayed with painting, shelving my writing as something I would return to later, perhaps when I was much older," he wrote in the introduction. Decades later he began writing down memories, and when he was fifty-two, he wrote twenty-eight chapters of something he thought might eventually become a memoir. Writing on a typewriter was laborious and discouraging, and he ended up putting the pages aside except for essays about working as an artist for gallery catalogs. After he bought a computer and rewriting became easier, he took up the memoir again. When he neared the ending, he recalls: "I was startled and pleased to see that instead of a random collection of episodes, I saw my life emerging as a whole. I found a consistency and coherence that was as much a function of personality, instinct, and my compulsion to create as it was of conscious thought. It was a perspective impossible to have until I had lived almost eighty years." "Writing about my life has been a little like reliving it, but with the advantage of seeing the unfolding problems and troubles in the context of their eventual resolution. I found this second visit a good thing, even with its many uncomfortable moments, and it has left me at peace, my enthusiasm undiminished." E-book: Brandeis University Press Reviews Sidney Offit "I was enlightened, entertained, and frequently moved by this portrait of the artist composed with a touch of the poet." — Sidney Offit, author of Memoir of the Bookie's Son ; Curator Emeritus, George Polk Journalism Awards; and president, Author’s Guild Association Avis Berman "Like his paintings, Kipniss's prose is clear and evocative, and readers will enjoy following his adventures as he fences against the follies and venality of the art world." — Avis Berman, art historian and author of Rebels on Eighth Street E. John Bullard "Few great painters are great writers, but Kipniss is an exception. In his sensitive and personal memoir, we discover his passionate struggle to achieve his artistic goals, balancing the obligations of his personal life with the great demands of his art." — E. John Bullard, Director Emeritus, New Orleans Museum of Art William A. Kinnison "This is a rare treat. A working artist reviews his life with the same skill with words that he has with brush and stylus." — William A. Kinnison, President Emeritus, Wittenberg University Richard J. Boyle "Robert Kipniss has fashioned a memoir of clarity, sensitivity and insight. Anyone seriously interested in art and the lives of artists, but especially in the mysterious and always fascinating connection between an artist's life and his work, would find this book both enlightening and enjoyable."-- Richard J. Boyle, art historian, former director, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Carol Ascher "Kipniss is an engagingly unpretentious and often humorous raconteur, with pitch-perfect dialogue and a wonderful eye for the telling detail. It's a pleasure to ride along with Kipniss on his candid, well-paced, and witty romp through the New York art world and his life in art." — Carol Ascher, author of Afterimages: A Family Memoir

Kipniss's early work consisted of abstractions, biomorphic forms, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, and figures. The majority of these works were landscapes of subdued color, often with few details, and loosely brushed. Large Trees at Dusk (1962) was one of several paintings and drawings in 1961 and 1962 which introduced a boldness of form and a more pronounced moodiness. < PAINTINGS Nine Trees 2018, oil on panel, 18 x 24 inches.

The majority of these works were landscapes of subdued color, often with few details, and loosely brushed. Large Trees at Dusk (1962) was one of several paintings and drawings in 1961 and 1962 which introduced a boldness of form and a more pronounced moodiness. The paintings and prints that followed, executed either in black and white or in color, include numerous variations in the shape, size, and placement of trees. Large Trees at Dusk exhibits the beginning of Kipniss's purification of tree forms, his use of closely related hues in a subdued or dark range, and the sense of solitude characteristic of his mature output. Of the paintings and prints since 1962, hundreds show the interplay of tree trunks, focusing on close or more distance views. In a review of the artist’s 1966 solo painting show at The Contemporaries, Time magazine wrote: "In the twilight zone between recollection and imagination, a New York painter has found a vista of mind and mood that he calls ‘the Inner Landscape.’ With hushed tones, feathered brushing and eerie chiaroscuro, he invests his scenes with the appearance of reality and the ambiance of dream." (“Art in New York,” Time, Feb 4, 1966: E2) Kipniss’s paintings in the late 1960s often exhibit vibrant, jewel-like undertones that lend pulsing energy to the composition and his rugged brushwork. In the 1970s and 1980s, Kipniss developed his mature style, composing his forms and spaces separately, working on each alternately after the paint has dried. He brushes between them and recomposes each area more than once, sometimes with five or six passes in order to get "the varied parts of the image to mesh together.” Continuing his exploration of landscape and its relationship to human experience, his brushwork began to be more refined. His palette also morphed to warm ochres, brick reds, and deep green earth tones. He often composed detailed studies of residential settings at the edges of open, undeveloped areas, seen at a distance. Fences and outbuildings often punctuate the scene. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Kipniss frequently turned to interior scenes, and his style once again shifted. His compositions of this period are atmospheric and moody, depicted in a palette of dark, cool colors. Forms are stylized, lacking detail, and there is an intense focus on the effects of light and shadow. The scene is set as within a domestic structure, with the landscape showing just beyond, through a window. Elements of the natural world are juxtaposed with plants and arrangements of flora as viewed from indoors; the two realms seem to meld in compositions such as Clear vase & landscape (1995) and Interior w/ leaves (1999). In Kipniss’s late phase, from 2000 to 2018, he returned to landscape, favoring a hazy pastel palette. Splash III (2003) and A celebration of morning (2007) are examples of Kipniss's paintings of this period which center trees extending into grassy landscapes, often in different effects of light. These paintings display his use of closely related tones, a strong accent on the purity of form, refined silhouetting, and pronounced luminosity.

Kipniss created a handful of mezzotints from 1982-84 but did not focus on this medium intently until 1990. He had his first solo mezzotint show in New York in 1992. He also showed mezzotints in 1995 at his first solo print show in England, and that year they comprised his first show of prints in Germany. Tall Trees at Night (2001) is in five museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, and the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, both in London. < MEZZOTINTS Evening clouds 2021, mezzotint, 9.625 x 12 inches.

View more "A year after turning sixty, while immersing myself in mezzotint, I began to feel like a young artist again. Everything I worked at was filled with energy and intensity. I loved starting with a world of blackness and drawing the light. Every touch on the plate is a glint of illumination, and my burnisher is like a wand that reveals and defines form as I probe into the dark." - Robert Kipniss, 2011 Kipniss created a handful of mezzotints from 1982-84 but did not focus on this medium intently until 1990. He had his first solo mezzotint show in New York in 1992. He also showed mezzotints in 1995 at his first solo print show in England, and that year they comprised his first show of prints in Germany. Tall Trees at Night (2001) is in five museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, and the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, both in London. When a copper plate is roughened in preparation for working on it, thousands of tiny holes are produced on the surface of the plate to hold the ink. Kipniss's preference has been for mechanically roughened plates because of their greater uniformity. Unlike many makers of mezzotints, he prefers using a burnisher rather than a scraper for reducing the depth of the holes, a process that controls the amount of ink held on the plate. The burnisher allows him freer motion and a greater range of pressure, as a pencil would, giving him the ability to create an image that looks drawn rather than machine crafted. Over time, Kipniss sought "narrower ranges of middle tones" while still bringing out the richness and resonance of darks characteristic of mezzotints. He has worked with master printer Anthony Kirk from 2003 to the present, first when Kirk was associated with the Connecticut Center for Printmaking in Norwalk, Connecticut, and then at Kirk's own studio in North Salem, New York. Tall Trees at Night is one of Kipniss's many mezzotints that view trees fairly close up at dusk or night and show a play of light upon them. The characteristics that became increasingly prominent in his mature work, his concern with capturing the essence of form and with even more subtle light effects, are clearly apparent. The trees in Kipniss's mezzotints have an especially strong purity of form when only their trunks are depicted. Sometimes leaves are spread across the trees, adding more movement and increasing the technical challenge. Window w/vase & forest (2000) is representative of still lifes that show a vase of plant cuttings, most often of stems with leaves. The vase is generally viewed close up before a window on a surface that may or may not be visible. Occasionally the bottom part of the sash is showing, and usually trees are beyond. Here, part of the view into the distance is through three layers of glass, and the form to the left is part of a chest of drawers. A painting done in reverse predates this print, and in both Kipniss extemporized the pale, delicate scrim of trees. The print is in four major museum collections, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California Palace of the Legion of Honor.
