ROBERT KIPNISS

With his mezzotints Robert Kipniss approaches the physical world formally through reduction of modeling and foreshortening and careful balance of vertical and horizontal elements. Gravity seems to firmly anchor Kipniss’ simple geometric masses and they appear immobile within time and space. Though Kipniss’ work is the vehicle of personal sentiment, in his expression of order and permanence he revives the idealism of the American myth. Robert Kipniss is an elected member of the National Academy of Design, New York and elected to the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, London, UK. Kipniss' work is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, British Museum, Chicago Art Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles Country Museum of Art, Library of Congress, New York Public Library, and the Portland Art Museum.
