john mallery - print salon share

   When 22 KC print society members got together to share a print that meant something to each of us, STORIES opened up, and it got exciting in the Spencer Room of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. Here is John:



"Once you buy a print, at least for me, it's a web. You start learning about one artist, then you want another artist, you want to know another artist, and it just kind of grows." John Mallery

Mallery introduces his Maurice Bebb print.  Two minute video.


"So this piece is a baby bird, I think it's a robin, but it is almost identical to print by another artist, after Charles E. Heil. Heil was a really well known bird, and did a lot of these baby bird prints. And so I've been researching Heil." John Mallery
