Marcus has been a painter since his teens and had an introduction to printmaking in
college. He had a 27-year Air Force career, during which he painted, but did not have
the facilities to make prints until after his retirement, when he bought a small press and
started printmaking.
Through painting, he found that he could explore compositions in an iterative manner,
one brush stroke at a time, whereas printmaking is more of a planned effort, with the
end in mind at the beginning of the process. The works in “Paint to Print” reimagine
compositions developed in paint into etchings and mezzotints with similar but different
outcomes.
Making prints of paintings is nothing new. Many notable painters made prints of their
paintings, to include Albrecht Dürer, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch,
Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol.
