Three decades of printmaking

the long version

"Drawn from Brandywine's extensive archives, Three Decades of American Printmaking presents 147 color and black-and-white photographs. Highlighting works by such influential artists as Eugene Grigsby, Woodsworth Jarrell, Margo Humphrey, and Louis Delsarte, this important volume displays the richness the Workshop has brought to contemporary art. Essays by Halima Taha, Lois H. Johnson and Patricia Smith, Keith A. Morrison, and Claude Elliott introduce the Workshop itself, explore its significance in relation to printmaking and education, and offer a closer look at some of the many distinguished artists and printers who have participated in its programs. Extensive information on the Brandywine Workshop's exhibitions, collection, and artists, in addition to a glossary and bibliography, complete a volume which sheds new light on an institution dedicated to enhancing the role of culturally diverse artists through the medium of prints."--BOOK JACKET.
