Item Description

16" x 20" Color Print of Whale Breeching by William Evaul of Provicnetown (unframed) 

About the Artist 

William Evaul studied painting and printmaking at Syracuse University School of Art, and Pratt Institute (BFA) with graduate seminars at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1981). He came to Provincetown in 1970 as a painting Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center.

His paper, The Provincetown Printers: Genesis of a Unique Woodcut Tradition which helped in the revival of the obscure and nearly lost technique of single-block "white-line" printmaking. 

Evaul's work has been exhibited or collected by numerous museums including The Zimmerli Museum of Art at Rutgers University, The Georgia Museum of Art, The Sunrise Art Museum, The Kresge Art Museum, The Provincetown Art Association and Museum, The Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum, The Cape Museum of Fine Art and others.

Alongside his painting, Evaul has produced over 100 woodblock images and over 1,000 prints. He pushes the limits of the medium by utilizing multiple layering of color and expanding the images in size and complexity. Seeking out the finest of hand-made Japanese papers and other water-leaf papers, he produces small, medium and large scale work, the largest of which measure 3' x 6'.
