ABSTRACTION September 16- November 12, 2016 Opening Reception: Friday, September 17, 2016
WASHINGTON, D.C.- The Old Print Gallery’s fall show, Abstraction, will open on Friday, September 16th with an opening night reception from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. With over twenty modern and contemporary artists featured in the show, Abstraction offers viewers a diverse display of the rich possibilities of abstraction as a style of artistic expression. The exhibit will remain on view through November 12th. Deviating from the representational, the featured artists mediate the relationship between form, line, and color in stunning and experimental ways. Using the unexpected bite of an aquatint, the fluid lines of a monotype, or working within the crisp geometric cuts of a woodcut, these artists embrace the potential of each printmaking medium to explore complex themes and emotions. Selected Artists: Al Blaustein, Mortimer Borne, Harry Brodsky, Letterio Calapai, Werner Drewes, Richard Florsheim, Hildegarde Haas, Takamune Ishiguro, Mary Manusos, Judy Mensch, Karima Muyaes, Nancy Previs, Richard Sloat, and Karen Whitman About The Old Print Gallery: Established in 1971, and known for its wide selection of antique prints and maps, in the last eight years The Old Print Gallery has expanded into the world of 20th century and contemporary printmaking.
