The Matrix: Prints from the Permanent Collection
Alexander Calder, Disque gris et disque rouge sur jaune, 1969, lithograph on paper, Collection of the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College
What is printmaking? As an artistic process, it is based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, lithography, and screen printing. The matrix is the printing plate or silkscreen where the magic originates. The Matrix: Prints from the Permanent Collection, guest curated by Jill Jensen, features over 40 fine prints from the permanent collection with exquisite examples of every technique. Artists include Jack Beal, George Bellows, Richard Bosman, Alexander Calder, Salvador Dali, Tara Donovan, Sam Gilliam, Brice Marden, Allison Saar, Art Spiegelman, May Stevens, and Grant Wood.
