Talbot; Baldung and the Reformation, by Linda C. Halts. From the Editors' Comments: "This exhibition introduces to the American audience the work of Hans Baldung Grien, a German artist active during the first half of the sixteenth century, who is noted for his unprecedented interpretations of traditional religious subjects and his intriguing explorations of topics which sometimes involve imagery of a demonic or erotic nature. His work reflects the changing subject matter and orientation of art in a turbulent period of European history - one which, at least in Germany, nourished a generation of virtuoso draftsmen-painters. Since it is impractical to arrange transatlantic loans of a significant body of sixteenth-century panel paintings, the exhibition is focused upon Baldung's graphic works, particularly his drawings and single-leaf prints. Although Baldung also designed hundreds of woodcut illustrations for printed books, most of these were executed by lesser craftsmen and were subject neither to the care nor to the same degree of the artist's control over cutting and printing as were his single-leaf prints. The latter works, like the drawings, are more accurate reflections of his artistic intentions and therefore constitute the most reliable basis for an evaluation of his graphic style. Most of the genres of Baldung's art are represented in his graphic works and, indeed, he depicted in his prints and drawings many subjects rarely illustrated in his panels. Baldung was, moreover, an inventive and powerful draftsman, whose graphic style has not been studied extensively for many decades. One of the primary aims of the exhibition has thus been to consider this aspect of Baldung's art. . The text of the catalogue has been conceived with a twofold purpose. The essays are designed to introduce readers and visitors to the exhibition, and to explore selected aspects of Baldung's art. The entries are designed to comment extensively upon the exhibited objects, considering such subjects as technique, style, sources, iconography and expression." Near Very Good.…
