The Violin" Wood Block Print by Irving Amen - Pencil Signed and Numbered 20/90
Amen is known as an important American printmaker. He was born in New York City and received a scholarship to the Pratt Institute when he was fourteen years old. During his career, he headed and executed mural projects in the United States and Belgium. His first exhibitions in woodcut was held at the New School for Social Research and the Smithsonian Institute in 1949. Amen studied in Paris and later traveled throughout Italy prior to creating a series of woodcuts and etchings along with oil paintings. One of the woodcuts, Piazza San Marco #4 and its four woodblocks became a permanent exhibit of block printing in color at the Smithsonian Institution. Amen was prolific and his art is widely owned. He taught at Pratt Institute and the University of Notre Dame. Commissions include a Peace Medal in honor of the Vietnam War and 12 stained glass windows for the Congregation Agudas Achim in Ohio.
