Three Decades of American Printmaking: The Brandywine Workshop

Rating:
Summary: Draws upon Brandywine's impressive collection
Review: Founded by master printer Allan Edmunds in 1972, The Brandywine Workshop has instructed students and artists in the Philadelphia community in the art and craft of printmaking for more than thirty years. Three Decades Of American Printmaking: The Brandywine Workshop Collection draws upon Brandywine's impressive archival collection to showcase 147 color and black/white photographs of work by a series of such renowned artists as Eugene Grigsby, Woodsworth Jarrell, and Margo Humphrey to reveal printmaking as an innovative contemporary art form. Informative Essays by Halima Taha, Lois H. Johnson, Patricia Smith, Keith A. Morrison, and Claude Elliot highlight the history and contributions of Brandywine. Enhanced with a glossary and a bibliography, Three Decades Of American Printmaking is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and academic library American Art History reference collections and Art School curriculum supplemental reading lists.
