Gregory Amenoff (b. 1948) explored abstract natural forms in Chianti I-II and Solid State I-V made at the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies in 2004 and 2018, respectively. Experimenting first with intaglio and later with woodcut techniques, Amenoff produced two distinct projects each with its own formal and emotional sensibilities. Ink drawings of the Chianti region in Tuscany inspired the moody, atmospheric landscapes of Amenoff’s etchings, bringing to mind the tonalist work of Albert Pinkham Ryder and Ralph Albert Blakelock. These lie in stark contrast to the vibrant, geometric woodcuts he made fourteen years later during a second residency at the Neiman Center.
