New Work
After thirty one years of teaching drawing I have written this book on drawing. It is a book that speaks to learning and how the visual vocabulary of drawing can become a tool for that effort. It is a complete curriculum and with the desire and discipline one will learn to draw and to use drawing as a tool for thought. It is available online through outskirtspress.com, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.

The art works shown on these pages; oil paintings, watercolor, etchings and linocuts, are all original pieces made by Martin John Garhart (Martin Garhart). The works include a variety of media based around a group of themes that are based on a central concept. ( see the Artists Statement.) The prints on this sight are traditional original works. In printmaking that means that the impressions are created by the transfer of ink from one or more plates, blocks, stones, or screens depending on the process used. The work shown here are intaglio etchings and engravings and relief lino cuts. The frames are for the most part made by the artist and in the case of the large paintings they are an architectural or sculptural addition to the total content of the piece. |
