Owen is known to have an abstract expressionistic approach to his artmaking, this version of Bayernwald: Frauenau is a stark contrast from its opposite, to the darker and heavier colors that fill the composition.

Welden, Dan, 1941-
- Abstract / Description
-
Dan Welden is a master printmaker, teacher, and author. This print features a variety of anarchic lines and craggy textures which suggest a frenzied atmosphere. Welden allows the composition to flow with sharp fine lines against the white backdrop, adding an element of calmness when compared to the tense portions of black shading. Blaga’s Poetry is one of the many lyrical abstractions that this artist has created.

Das Rheingold is the first of the four operas within Der Ring des Nibelungen. This print, the first from the series of eleven, portrays the first meeting between Alberich and the Rhine Maiden. Alberich looks into a small cavern where the Rhinegold is guarded. His silhouette is highlighted from the fire within. In the background of the piece, female figures are shown displaying a menacing pose. The contrasting black and white of the work, and the use of the chiaroscuro technique, makes the scene more intense and powerful by limiting the visibility of the image.
