Snigger, from Engravings with Sounds

John BALDESSARI | Black Dice 1 | Etching and Aquatint, 1982 — available on Composition Gallery

Etching with aquatint on Arches paper. Signed in pencil and numbered. Published by Peter Blum Edition, New York. Image: 6 1?2 x 8 in. (16.5 × 20.3 cm.). Sheet: 16 1?2 x 19 3?4 in. (41.9 × 50.2 cm.). Literature: Coplan Hurowitz 10-18; Jameson 1. // The opening plate of Baldessari's 1982 Black Dice suite introduces the source that anchors all nine etchings: a grainy publicity still from a 1948 film noir, its cluster of suited men bent over a craps game rendered in coarse halftone. Around this fragment, dense black aquatint masses press in — irregular silhouettes edged by fine etched contours that drift across the white sheet. Photographic memory and abstract shape hold each other in tension, the image emerging from and dissolving back into darkness. Printed by Peter Blum Edition, New York, in an edition of thirty-five.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
