Today an introduction to the printed world of New York born printer Frank Eckmair. Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking Ohio University and long time printmaking teacher. 
Some other scheduled postings will have to wait when last night I stumbled upon this nice landscape "under the Hill" and than found some more real nice prints I would like to share. His favorite subjects are New York rural life and landscapes, old barns, houses and trees. Always in small editions.

Most striking in all his prints is the use of the white of the paper. The shape and form, the amount and distribution. Using the white as an integral very carefully designed part of the print. Like a key(block).
