Page 4 THE EIGHTH TRIBE May, 1977 Albert Museum was seen in several American cities including the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Dómján participated at several other international exhibitions like Lugano and Ljublajana where Gustave von Groschwitz (at the time Curator of Prints, the Cincinnati Art Museum), saw Domjan’s work and meeting the artist at his one-man show in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1956, invited Dómján to come to the U.S.A. The Cincinnati Art Museum organized Domjan’s first American museum show, of about 100 color woodcuts in 1958. In 1973 the Cincinnati Art Museum’s large exhibition hall was glowing in the splendor of Doniján gobelin tapestries. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, was among the first collectors of Domjan’s work starting with the color woodcut: “Queen Anne’s Lace”. The Museum also owns the “Fire Peacock”, a world famous color woodcut, and its black-andwhite version. This work is the star of a 16mm 24 min. motion picture, “The Magic of Wood”. The Metropolitan Museum of Art published Domjan’s woodcut the “Angel”, for many years the only contemporary work in their Christmas Catalogue; and the “Unicorn”; and for years Dómján was commissioned by the Museum to make woodcut designs for golden stars and silver snow flakes. His latest work published in 1976 is a heart in silver and gold. In 1966 the New Jersey State Museum, Trenton organized Domjan’s retrospective exhibition of 250 color woodcuts and published the book, “Dómján The Woodcutter” by Dr. Kenneth W. Prescott, Director and Gustave von Groschwitz, Director of Carnegie Institute. This exhibition was also seen at the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City, and the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery, Paris.
