Reynold WeidenaarBorn in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1915, Weidenaar studied at the Kendall School of Design, Grand Rapids and the Kansas City Art Institute. He received
a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1944 and traveled through Mexico producing beautiful images in mezzotint. Weidenaar personifies the master printmaker,
using several techniques in a single plate, such as aquatint, etching, and drypoint, but excels in mezzotint. His images can be exceedingly dramatic,
sometimes satirical, or strange and eerie with a mystical aura, but always interesting and never boring.
