Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC Opens New Exhibition Focused on Printmaking
Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Printed in Beauty, on view through Apr. 1, 2007.
Printmaking techniques were employed for centuries before the advent of the printing press, originating in China with the invention of paper (in around 105 A.D.), and produced for informational and devotional purposes rather than motivated by any aesthetic impulse. This exhibition, organized by the Cameron Art Museum, demonstrates the breathtaking beauty, expansive technical range and continuing innovations by artists in many cultures and periods. This major exhibition of over 200 individual prints includes a wide variety of techniques and artists. Included in the exhibition are works by nationally and internationally recognized artists, including Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, Mary Cassatt, Jasper Johns, Jacob Lawrence, Henri Matisse, Rembrandt van Rijn, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol . . . as well as local master printmakers Ann Conner and Donald Furst.
Free gallery brochures, designed by UNC-Wilmington graphic arts professor Ned Irvine, will be available in the galleries. Public programs of music, film and artists' gallery discussions will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition, in addition to scheduled docent tours for young people and adults.
