[Baren]: The mailing list / discussion forum for woodblock printmaking. Baren Digest Tuesday, 9 June 1998 Volume 03 : Number 178 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jimandkatemundie@juno.com (James G Mundie) Date: Mon, 8 Jun 1998 20:44:38 -0400 Subject: [Baren 910] the works of Danny Peirce -Reply from Max Yela I received the following message from Mr. Yela, the gentleman responsible for the exhibition of Danny Pierce's work at UWM. As Danny has been much on all of our minds of late, I thought I would pass this along: - --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Dear Mr. Mundie: I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed Danny's exhibit; it was certainly fun putting it together and a pleasure to work with the artist. Now in his mid-70s, Danny is still very active, creating about one complete book a year, each with a dozen or more of his expressive, multi-color wood block prints. His most recent book is called The Trek (1996), and deals poetically with the subject of North American caribou migration. There is a book artist in Philadelphia whose woodblocks and linocuts I admire, Claire Owen. Do you know her? Max Yela Head, Special Collections Golda Meir Library UW-Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/Library/special ****** Sorry to say that I am personally unfamiliar with Claire Owen's work. Has anybody in Baren heard of her? Sla/inte, James Mundie, Philadelphia USA ------------------------------ From: Ray Esposito Date: Mon, 08 Jun 1998 23:00:54 -0400 Subject: [Baren 911] Re: the works of Danny Peirce -Reply from Max Yela Jim wrote: >I received the following message from Mr. Yela, the gentleman responsible >for the exhibition of Danny Pierce's work at UWM. I also received a post from Mr. Yelta. It is about the same but includes Danny Pierce's address if anyone is curious or wants to write him. I have and will let everyone knows what he says. post---- Mr. Esposito: Thanks for your note about Danny Pierce. I'm pleased you enjoyed the exhibit; it was certainly fun putting it together and a pleasure to work with the artist.

Thanks also for your note about the guestbook--I think I finally have it operating correctly. You can contact Danny at his mail address: Red Door Studio 330 Summit Ave. North Kent, Washington 98031 If you write to him, please tell him that you saw his exhibit on UWM's Special Collections website. Thanks, end post -- Cheers Ray Esposito ------------------------------ From: David Bull Date: Tue, 09 Jun 1998 21:50:08 +0900 Subject: [Baren 912] Traditional woodblock printmaking Hien Pham, the friend who made the suggestion about the Vietnamese prints the other day, dropped me another line this afternoon. He suggested a new section in the 'Exhibitions' section of the Encyclopedia - a section on traditional woodblock prints from various countries. This is obviously a good idea, and I'll start work on it right away ... but _what_ countries have such a tradition? I've seen woodblocks from China, Taiwan, Tibet/Nepal ... and now Vietnam. Anybody else know of any others? Please let me know if you do, and if you know of any images that we might be able to use for such a page ... Thanx Dave ------------------------------ End of Baren Digest V3 #178 ***************************
