Recording Coming Soon
Experimental Impressions: The Seventeenth-Century Origins of Monotype
Monotypes emerged as an important experimental medium in the nineteenth century with the innovative prints of Degas, Gauguin, Pissarro, and others. Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione is often credited with inventing the monotype technique in the seventeenth century, but it is unlikely that Degas and his contemporaries were looking at Castiglione’s prints. Rather, it was Rembrandt van Rijn’s experimental etchings that provided the most important catalyst for nineteenth-century monotypists. Join Prof. Alexandra Onuf as she explores the visual, technical and conceptual through lines from Rembrandt and other seventeenth-century printmakers to Degas and his circle in order to understand the experimental foundations for the monotype “revival” in the nineteenth century.

The prints on exhibit include scenes inspired by the dramatic landscape of Iceland, images inspired by archaeological finds, and depictions of Mexican masks. Another series uses diagramed pictographs to record destinations in Hausrath’s world travels, while her recent work uses etched images of stones placed both in their natural setting and in architectural configurations.
For the past thirty years Hausrath has been researching safer alternatives to the centuries-old tradition of using acids and solvent based materials in printmaking and has received a number of grants to fund her studies. She currently teaches workshops in non-toxic printmaking to regional print groups.

Collaborative Transformations Online Exhibition
In early spring, 2020, in response to Covid-19, MGNE began to explore virtual programming and community building in order to continue to serve its membership while respecting CDC guidelines. Regional groups of printmakers began forming and meeting virtually throughout New England and beyond.
A group of MGNE members residing in Maine began meeting virtually in May 2020. The regional group of Maine printmakers divided into four small randomly chosen autonomous groups of three or four printmakers. Usually each member would begin a print and mail it to another member in a pre-arranged order to continue working. Once each small group member had contributed to the print, it was returned to the originator to title and rework if needed. By late summer of 2020, the first cycle of collaborative prints was finished. As of Spring 2021, they are completing their second cycle of collaborative prints.
We are thrilled to present this virtual exhibition to showcase these collaborative transformations. As other regional MGNE groups have started their own collaboration print projects, this virtual exhibition will be ongoing through 2021 as projects continue to transform and evolve. Additional prints from the MGNE Maine artists and beyond will continue to be added.

A Change in the Light
The Cliché-verre in Nineteenth Century France
The Clark Art Institute
February 13 – May 16, 2021
MGNE member Corinne Rhodes was invited to create cliché-verre plates for the exhibition’s didactic display case to illustrate each step for two processes, one which uses lithographic ink and the other oil paint as the bases of the photographic glass negatives. The plates were then printed by photographer Jonathan Kline on light-sensitive photo paper using archival processes.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION : Cliché-verre, a hybrid process developed in the mid-nineteenth century, combined the techniques of the graphic arts—namely drawing and printmaking—with those of the new medium of photography. Located between conventional printmaking and novel photography, the hybrid technique combined tradition and modernity. The same is true of the prints on view, in which historical scenes and pastoral idylls commingle with landscapes bearing traces of urbanization and industrialization. This exhibition presents clichés-verre by five French artists—Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Charles-François Daubigny, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-François Millet, and Théodore Rousseau. The works are drawn from a historic portfolio recently acquired by the Clark. Printed in 1921 from a set of original cliché-verre plates, the Clark’s portfolio is one of a special edition of just five that includes two variant printings of each plate. In addition to displaying a single complete set of plates, the exhibition will feature a number of pairings of variant prints to demonstrate the range of expressive potential in printing a cliché-verre.

Dampened 100% rag paper placed on top of the inked plate, and passed through the press with gentle pressure, produces a unique impression that is intimately and permanently bonded with the fibers of the paper.
