first chat-interview. 
Richard Kushinsky, profound and 
inspired american painter.


Zeta: Hi Richard. Is there a common theme in your painting, a common denominator?

Richard: in the past 5 years my main focus has been on print making in limited hand printed,reduction,linoleum and white line woodblock water color prints

Zeta: Do you feel that you belong or participate in an artistic movement? And if yes, which one??

Richard: OF PRINT MAKERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THERE HAS BEEN A RESURGENCY OF PRINTERS, MY SPECIAL INTEREST IS THE WHITE LINE WOODBLOCK WATER COLOR PRINTS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PROVINCETOWN METHOD OF PRINTING

Zeta: i know you use internet and facebook in particular to introduce and sell your art. How do you think that new technologies have influenced the art world?

Richard: THE ELECTRONIC AGE HAS OPENED THE DOOR FOR ALL THE ARTSTS IN THE WORLD FOR EVERYONE TO LEARN ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFULLY TALENTED PEOPLE,AMD ON THE OTHER SIDE HAS EXPOSED NON-ARTISTS TO AN OCEAN OF ARTISTIC WORKS HELPING THEM TO LEARN AND ENJOY ART

Zeta: I was impressed by "At Rest" (photo below). How would you explain/describe it? How many copies did you print?

Richard: ZETA, IT IS A WHITELINE WATER COLOR PRINT FROM A WOODBLOCK PLATE THAT I PRINTED IN WATERCOLOR AND PUT THE PRINT IN MY COMPUTER AND PRINTED THE NEGATIVE VALUES ON CANVAS PAPER, I CAN MAKE AS MANY PRINTS OF THIS AS I WANT
