Robert Kipniss is known for monochromatic vista and graphics. He creates essencially monochromatic, stylized vistas with natural and architectural elements intended to evoke an elegiac, nearly surrealistic mood in haunting, silent landscapes, the menancholy of nostalgia. Kipniss studied at the Art Students League in 1947, Wittenberg University, and University of Iowa. He employs a meticulous technique combining a multiplicity of specific strokes, whether with brush, pencil, or print-makers needle and burin, to create the essence of his generalized non-specific forms.
