Joyce Tilley Nagel
Joyce T. Nagel Lithograph "Snowscape" Artist's Proof Winter Scene Signed Dated

1968

About the Item

"Snowscape" is a study in contrasts being both a landscape and an abstract study of black and white negative/positive shapes. It is very powerful in the stark scene created and because of the interesting placement of the black and white areas. Being an "Artist's Proof" means that it was the first print pulled before the artist approved the look of the print and initiated further printing. It is an accomplished piece of depth and intellectual complexity. It is a Lithograph. Lithography is a planographic printmaking process in which a design is drawn onto a flat stone (or prepared metal plate, usually zinc or aluminum) and affixed by means of a chemical reaction. Like an actual storm whose characteristics are unique this monoprint is a one-off print and unique. She has captured the heavy dark feel of storm clouds and the slashing rain that accompanies a storm. Nagel has the ability to infuse her work with the intricate characteristics found in nature. Joyce Tilley Nagel received a BS in Advertising Design from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MA in Printmaking from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. She has worked as a freelance graphic designer and has been recognized nationally for her fine art pastels. Joyce is, also, known as an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher with a sensitive approach to drawing, printmaking, oil and pastel painting. In the late 60’s Joyce was an instructor at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Association. In the 70’s and 80’s she taught adults drawing, design, printmaking and pastel painting. In the late 80’s and 90’s, Joyce, along with her husband, Don Nagel, led travel groups, as artist/demonstrators, through Europe to Paris, Northern France, Giverny and Provence. She is a past president of Birmingham Society of Women Painters and was on the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Association Board, where she organized many exhibitions (Prints & Plates), and did graphics and production for their monthly publications, exhibitions and events. During these years, Joyce worked as a freelance graphic designer. She worked through Cranbrook Press on Christ Church Cranbrook monthly communications. According to Joyce, “In the 70’s, monoprints became popular and more fun to create than doing repetitive editions. Wiping the plate was an individual procedure that I enjoyed for both abstracts and real images. Thus, each print is unique.” Her collection of monoprints provides a classic snapshot of mid-century art and design. Today, she and husband Don, also an artist, are semi-retired, living and still painting on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
