Pulled, Pressed, and Screened: Important American Prints

June 21 – August 10, 2014
*Exhibition dates vary due to gallery lighting upgrades.
American printmaking changed profoundly from the black-and-white lithographs of the urban realists and experimental intaglios of the 1940s and 1950s, to Pop Art screenprints and super realism of the 1960s and 1970s. Surveying five decades of printmaking, this exhibition drawn from the Syracuse University Art Collection includes work by Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Jasper Johns, and Richard Estes.
