Carol Lyons

Poetic License

Carol Lyons' "Poetic License" is an original sepia ink on paper, monotype created by the artist in 1994 and of course, in an edition of one. The Curator of Prints at the NYC Public Library, Roberta Waddell, wrote of Carol Lyons' art, “remarkable freedom and energy, proving that printmaking doesn't have to involve a heavy, expensive press --just creativity, imagination, an instinctive response to materials and a sense of playfulness (a quality I much admire)”. "Poetic License" is a unique, original example of the contemporary art created by the American printmaker and watercolor artist, Carol Lyons.

	"Poetic License" belongs to a 1994 series of monotypes Carol Lyons termed, "Visionary Landscapes". Each is a remarkable and fascinating exploration of form and texture within nature. The abstracted effects of light are also prominent, particularly in the darkest sepia areas. Carol Lyons writes, "'Visionary Landscapes' are one of a kind artworks. Sepia ink on paper. No pen, pencil, or brush is used. Its a method I devised, my take on 'decalcomania'. The name was coined by Oscar Dominguez around 1936 and Max Ernst also experimented with this method."
