Summer Salon Vignette: The Blotter Press
On view July 29 - August 28, 2021
During this year's Summer Salon, the gallery will be featuring a selection of rare publications from The Blotter Press, from the Estate of Dr. Robert Rogan and originated in 1962 during his tenure at Lamar. These handmade, letterpress, and silk-screened books were produced in limited, small edition publications under the direction of Myrtle Kerr, as Associate Professor of Art at Lamar from 1962 - 1966; and later as Supervisor of Art at Louisiana State, starting in 1966. The detail and beauty of each book is a true revelation of this historic, creative enterprise started by college students. Each book is a jewel in its own right, and, remarkably, there are 22 different works on display for your perusal and enjoyment. Please contact us for more information on the available publications, or if you like to make an appointment to view these in person.
