North American Prints 1913-1947 ─ A Examination at Century's End

Drawn from those given at a conference held at Syracuse U. in May 2000, these eight critical essays examine this most rich and varied era in printmaking. Contributors give context, analyze the national audience created by special exhibition programs, and offer case studies ranging from Canada's printmaking program during World War I to prints of rural Southern women and the early lithographs of Yasuo Kumiyoshi. They cover precisionism in the 1920s and 1930s, the scene above and below the streets of New York, the Syracuse printmakers, and the memories of Herbert Pullinger, Abe Blashko, Mark Freeman and Charles Keller.
