The Portland Museum of Art will present a history of
printmaking in Maine from the founding of the Portland Society of Art
in 1882 until the opening of the Museum's Payson Building. Drawn primarily
from its permanent collection, the exhibition will examine a variety
of printmaking techniques and the impact of national trends in printmaking
on artists associated with the state of Maine. The exhibition begins
with the work of etchers such as Winslow Homer, Frank Benson, and Charles
Woodbury, whose works were popular at the turn of the century. Later
modernist etchers will include John Marin, Louise Nevelson, and Karl
Schrag. Among the well-known woodblock printers represented in this
exhibition, who produced impressions in both black-and-white and color,
are Leonard Baskin, William Zorach, Neil Welliver, and Yvonne Jacquette.
Contemporary monotypes by Harold Garde, William Manning, and John Walker
will round out this survey of techniques and style.
