Warrington Colescott: The History of Printmaking
January 15th – March 12th
About the Show
Leech Gallery
The History of Printmaking Series (1975–78) is perhaps Warrington Colescott's best-known work. In this suite of images, which includes twenty-one intaglio prints, two lithographs, and a handful of watercolors and drawings, Colescott imagines critical moments in the history of printmaking. In each print, Colescott starts with historical fact, and then adds his own interpretation, often borrowing from the featured artist's own style or themes.

About the Show
Hoffmaster Gallery
Printmaker Jayne Reid Jackson concentrates on intaglio techniques that require drawing and painting skills, and she particularly favors the mezzotint process. Jackson uses still life as a vehicle to study how simple objects can create mystery and visual poetry.
