Description

In the smallest of formats, San Francisco born French printmaker George Ball successfully executes the drama of a strange, stormy landscape whose sweeping valley and dramatic hills hold as much depth as any photograph. Ball depicts a distant train of travelers funneled down through the center of the valley, with angular, tumbling foothills in the foreground, and dark billowing clouds looming above. The Atelier 17 student, trained first in painting before discovering a love of intaglio printmaking, was as adept at coaxing drama from the plate as he was the canvas.
