This installation features six works by Nuremberg-born Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), the most prodigious artist of the German Renaissance. Trained as a goldsmith by his Hungarian-born father, Albrecht organized his own workshop after a trip to Italy in 1494/95. The hundreds of woodcuts and engravings it produced quickly found their way around the world, to Scandinavia by 1540 and in South America by 1580. These examples from the museum's collection demonstrate how Dürer never forsook his goldsmithing apprenticeship in his printmaking. The attention he lavished on specific kinds of paper, and the variegated surfaces he evoked across the six sheets on view---hair, fur, mist, cloth, skin, hide, feather, bark, rock, steel, soil---impart to the works an implicitly sculptural quality, merely through articulations of black and white line. The prints are on display in conjunction with Professor Christopher Heuer's seminar "Dürer's Worlds" (ART 544/GER 544).
