Kurt Brian Webb is an Illinois printmaker whose woodcuts create social commentary that provokes the viewer through humor , satire, and cynicism. Webb’s Dance of Death series uses images of soldiers unknowingly intermingled with malevolent skeletal figures. Each two-color print is printed directly from a woodblock onto Japanese paper and is superimposed over a contemporary news story related to death and the war in Iraq.

    excellent art wish i had some of it

    Just another “artist” depicting subject matter he likely knows nothing about . His art is supposed to provoke “the viewer through humor , satire, and cynicism.” In all actuality it provokes nothing more than yawning. I have seen more interesting and provoking art on the bottoms of snowboards.

Something to say?
