August 31, 1999 A GGIELIFE Stamp Collectio The battalion cc Classical Masters†exhibit brings lithography to M BY EMILY RUDER The Battalion Using a porous stone as a palette, an artist carefully draws an image with a greasy wax cray on. After dampening the stone with water, an oily printing ink is then rolled over the stone. The ink adheres only to the crayon and is repelled by the damp part of the stone. Like a stamp, the design is then pressed onto paper, canvas or other sur faces. Two centuries ago, lithographs were created using this process. Today, artists make lithographs in an identical manner, replacing the stone with metal plates but using the wax-resistance technique to produce the desired image. The works of two historic lith ographers, Giovanni Battista Pi ranesi and Luigi Rossini, will be showcased in the exhibit “Classi cal Masters†at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries Sept. 2-Oct. 17. Cathy Hastedt, curator of the University Art Collections and Ex hibitions, said the exhibit will showcase lithographs of the nep- classical movement, focusing on the ancient styles of Greece and Rome. “During the 1700 and 1800s, anything Greek or Roman was in fashion,†Hastedt said. “These artists sketched Roman ruins, took things out of the view that were modern ^nd created romanticized ideals of what Rome might really have looked like.†Hastedt said the classical styles of the two artists are focused on architecture. For example, the rep resentations of Rome on display in the gallery contrast the ancient capital with the crumbling ruins of today. According to a pamphlet re leased by the galleries, Piranesi (1720-1778) was trained as a draftsman at the Vatican and spent most of his life as an artist and re searcher. He combined his interest in history and archaeology with the principles of light, shadow and geometric perspective to create an aesthetic representation of Roman architecture. Piranesi’s collection of etch ings, titled Careen d’lnvenzione, or Imaginary Prisons, influenced the development of romanticism and surrealism. Rossini (1790-1857) continued the classical tradition Piranesi had begun several decades earlier. Af ter abandoning a career in archi tecture, he studied many of the same buildings and scenes his pre decessor had etched, the pam phlet said. Between them, the artists pro duced thousands of plates dedi cated to the ancient city of Rome. Using lithographic techniques, their art could be produced quick ly and on a large scale. ,i beauty cj W crown af H to make 1 Q squad “ci of the Eartln .only threat e •cb 'deader. ■Roni Low* Im, withd re School last' I \ ■nistrators wetoatten< fol three me (■nment.

Wayne Stark University Cento' | Two examples of the lithographs created by Luigi Rossini and Giovanni Piranesi on display for the).te Stark Gallery’s “Classical Masters" exhibit. “The whole print-making process made art available to the public,†Hastedt said. “With lith ography, Hogarth, Whistler and other artists known for their paint ings were made available to the public who could not afford origi nal works of art.†P. David Romei, executive di rector of the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley, said lithographs al low people to obtain a work of art by a famous artist at a very rea sonable price with their original signature in ink. “They are beautiful works that the artists have monitored through every part ■of their creation,†Romei said. Romei said lithographs were most popular during Piranesi’s time, from 1650 to 1780. “During the eighteenth centu ry, before the invention of photog raphy, people wanted recollec tions and visual images of their life,†Romei said. “They could buy lithographs instead of photos to show their family, vacations and animals.†Lithographs are still popular to day as an inexpensive way to own an original work by a famous artist., Romei said. “In the Postwar Era, a doctor who made $50,000 a year could not afford a $300,000 oil [paint ing] by Picasso,†Romei said. “But they could afford a $2,500 litho graph. The only alternative would be to buy a cheap print, like a poster you can find in a college dorm room.†The goal of “Classical Masters†is to educate the publicakj specific artists and 1 an artistic medium, HasteiiiJ “This exhibit will understand the interests! ranesi and Rossini’s was vogue,†Hastedti they can learn about thef process.†Hastedt said a visit gallery is more than a 1 son. “It’s not like seeing an] Warhol,†Hastedt said, “i 1 art lover will appreciate!) torical significance of the graphs.†The Stark Galleries, >1 Memorial Student Centeif open Tuesday through Fridai 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and SatiM Sunday from 12 p.m. todfl SHAPERS HAIR PRODUCTIONS 1673 Briarcrest, Bryan 774-0589 17 Stylists *4 Nail Techs We offer: Haircutting and Styling, Coloring, Foiling, and High.ligh.ting, Perms, Straightners, Acrylic and Cel Nails, Manicures, Pedicures, and All Types of Waxing Call for an appointment Reception desk open Tuesday - Saturday *49.95 TUne- Free Brake inspections Free 27-point Safety Inspection 601 Harvey Rd. 695-9400 3210 S.
