Danny Pierce, artist, dies, age 93

Danny Pierce, artist and master printmaker, died at his home in Kent Washington on March 6th 2014 at age 93, two weeks after the death of his wife.  You can read his fascinating obituaries online at the Kent Reporter and the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.  In 1953 Pierce created Fish in Nets 2, a masterpiece of etching and aquatint which I included in my 2011 exhibition at Good Design, Image and Abstraction: American Color Prints of the 1950’s.
