E·ratio Editions is happy to announce the publication of Correspondance (a
sketchbook) by Joseph F. Keppler.
Correspondance (a sketchbook) by Joseph F. Keppler. Digital art.
What can I call this work? Neither painting nor critique yet informed by
art, the following are sketches to me. Rather than executed on paper,
theyre drawings designed using the pervasive computer. These graphics
approach oeuvre subjectively, not as meticulous copies or art history
illustrations, but as some poetic efforts. My laptop simply opens a new
capacity for thinking about art and drawing it. As studies these are
(a)musing tributes as well as appropriate(d) attributes. Joseph F.
Keppler, from the introduction.
What the cognoscenti are saying about Correspondance (a sketchbook):
Readability and meaning construction, as well as the relation between the
visual and the literary, have been concerns of Joes for many years. In
Correspondance we see Joe, who is also an astute critic on both literary
and visual art, take an artists approach, a visual poets approach, a
visual artists approach. Joe Keppler is very unusual in his deep
engagement both with art history and the literary. Hes a poet, a visual
poet, a sound poet, a sculptor of steel, a photographer, a painter, a
polyartist. Not only in his practice but in his wide reading and viewing
of contemporary and historical work. I dont know anybody else as
voracious as he is not only in his own artistic practice but in learning
about art and philosophy. He is an incredibly learned man as well as an
important poet and artist. He shows us what it now means to be literate.
Jim Andrews Vispo-Langu(im)age
Correspondance is suffused with correspondence, bright exchanges between
artist and subject, playful responses between form, light, color, and art
history. Poet and sculptor, Joe Keppler brings both mediums to bear,
poetry and sculpture, word and material, hand in hand. Keppler adds a
third-dimension to the graceful dance (Joe the humble artist says, bump)
through his lifelong study of painting and sculpture: allusions to
significant works, quotations of style, and adaptations that bring old
works to new life. In this series of sketches, poet, artist, and art will
wheel you across the dance floors of the page. Crag Hill Poetry

human emotions.

of making conscious, of acceptance and of self-remembering, and of
personal responsibility.
