Ross Pittman was a neuropsychiatrist and former medical missionary in India. Pittman took up printmaking in the 1936 as a hobby, and studied under George A. Bradshaw at the School of Industrial Arts in Trenton, New Jersey. This drawing and print come from the Cumberland River series, which were made from "on the spot sketches and my own snap shots on the spot," in the words of Pittman. The Cumberland River is a major Southern waterway, whose headwaters are three separate forks that begin in Kentucky and converge in Baxter, KY, located in Harlan County. |
