This exhibition presents a survey of the resurgence of relief printmaking in America, when it was transformed into a lively art form well suited to accommodate a highly personal and experimental approach to graphic expression.

Celebrating the generous gift of Joan and John Richardson, this exhibition uses these works on paper in conjunction with artworks from the collection to reveal how their contribution enlarges and diversifies the Carter’s holdings in illuminating ways.

This exhibition showcases the evolution of the woodcut, proving that while the methodology of woodblock printing is not much changed over the last century, the pliant medium is capable of bold new forms of artistic expression.
