Some of you have noticed a few posts from me over the past months about my new enthusiasm for print art. I’m looking at more and more prints and taking insane pleasure from them. I’ve decided to try sharing a print a day. I’m starting with an Australian-American artist named Richard Bosman, now in his late 70s. My earliest print enthusiasm was for classic black and white etchings and engravings. Bosman mostly prints in bold color, though often with a palette limited to varying shades of a single color. A lot of his earlier works are themed around violence or disasters, sort of pulp fiction style, and I find those works unattractive and unmoving. I enjoy some of his pieces that are nature-themed, landscapes, and architectural and city views. The sea and night skies are often prominent or the central feature. Many of his prints are diptychs, often suggesting serial views, almost like frames in a comic book. The print I’ve selected for today is one of these diptychs called Nighscapes, created in 1992. Enjoy!
