paul sokoloff - 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 Paul on Seybald Beman:

"He would work for the Lutherans when he left Nuremberg to go to Frankfurt. He worked just as easily for the most orthodox cardinals and bishops in the catholic church. He did woodcuts for wall paper. He did designs for fountains and sculptures."

"Basically, he was attuned to the market. He knew what the market needed to do." Paul Sokoloff

"And so, he got kicked out of Nuremberg again in 1528, because he was falsely accused of plagarizing a book by Duerr on the precise proportions of the horse." Paul Sokoloff

Sokolof introduces his Seybald Beham print. Two minute video.

"I also sense the bizarre effect. I love the fact that he has a hole in his chest, and the blood is streaming into the cup." Paul Sokoloff
