Robert Siegelman

Robert Siegelman, a native New Englander, works in Printmaking, Drawing, Artist’s Books and Photography. While many of his prints have been the product of experimentation with the media itself, the underlying concepts for the work is to use printmaking itself as a personal drawing medium. Early prints are noted for their whimsy and a sense of the lyrical. Later prints range from the nearly ephemeral to large bold and gestural. All of his work references the autobiographical. His newest letterpress prints are made the scanned pages of his private journals. Siegelman’s work has been described as having a “raw grace”, and “the most instinctive kind of drawing possible”
