Aquatint on Twinrocker paper. Playing Cards (Queen of Spades) by Donald Sultan, created in 1990, is an aquatint print on Twinrocker paper. The image reduces the familiar motif of a playing card to its most essential form: a single, bold spade icon centered in a softly textured field, with minimalistic decorative flourishes in the corners. Sultan’s use of aquatint enhances the velvety texture of the background, giving the piece a subtle atmospheric depth. The handwritten title along the left margin adds a personal, almost intimate layer to the work, contrasting with the graphic simplicity of the central form. This piece exemplifies Sultan's interest in elevating everyday objects into the realm of fine art.

Artwork by Bruce Nauman

What is Process Art?

Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
