Baltimore Sonnets

 ART, NATURE, AND SCIENCE The name Alte (Old) Pinakothek symbolizes the time period of the museums' art collection.  All of the artworks (several thousand pieces) are from the 14th century to the 18th century. This museum, along with Neue Pinakothek and Pinakothek Der Moderne are part of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. It was great to experience, in the same space, scientific study with some of the most beautiful and compelling artistic creations.   Wonderful museum!

Researching printmaking and painting techniques in Germany. This is the beginning of a new chapter in my artistic process and I am excited about my upcoming projects. I truly appreciated the technical details of the aquatints and woodcuts by scientist Hans-Peter Elsasser.   It was great to be able to touch and study the actual printmaking plates. And, then be able to analyze the printmaking plates next to the actual prints on paper.
