The Artist's Gesture: Selections from the Polly and Mark Addison Collection
This exhibition celebrates American printmaking with prints from the Polly and Mark Addison Collection at the CU Art Museum. Printmaking became increasingly popular among American artists, with the advent of collaborative efforts between artists and specialized printmakers in the mid-twentieth century. The productions on view exemplify this trend and showcase the combined skills of artists and master printmaker. In these works, artists and printmakers used the graphic and expressive qualities of line and color to evoke emotion. All of the artists represented in this exhibition probe the possibilities of expression in printmaking, revealing human presence in a mechanically reproducible medium through idea, gesture, or interaction with materials.
