Description

Print by Sylvia Solochek Walters, Summer Self-Portrait (woodcut and relief plate, 22" x 22", 1977). The image illustrates a mid-career period and body of work in Sylvia Solochek Walters's art in the later 1970s and 1980s: her complex, realistically drawn color portraits of friends and colleagues, her husband, and herself. Critics note this new work for its sense of color harmony and diverse methods of achieving refined textural variations among distinct print areas, and this work specifically for its capturing of likeness, artistic ordering, sublimation of subject and sensitivity to form. This series of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career period and body of work in Sylvia Solochek Walters's art in the later 1970s and 1980s: her complex, realistically drawn color portraits of friends and colleagues, her husband, and herself. Critics suggest this new work demonstrated a new sense of color harmony in its mix of transparent hues, while showcasing diverse methods (halftone engravings, striations and undulating carvings) of achieving refined textural variations and a relatable directness amid its technical complexity and near-photorealist execution. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize a key development and distinct body of work in her art, which brought her wider recognition from art and daily press publications, juried exhibitions and museums. Walters's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?
