An exhibition that will present a cross section of graphic work by American artists will be arranged by the Print Department of the Brooklyn Museum, under the title of “Exhibition of American Artists in the Brooklyn Museum’s Print Collection.” The exhibition opens March 7 and will continue through April 20.
Some of the outstanding examples that will be shown are Bellow’s famous lithograph “Stag at Sharkey’s”; three drypoints and aquatints in color from a set of twelve by Mary Cassatt, of which only twenty- five impressions each were made; and a rare lithograph by Mary Cassatt, one of three impressions known. Others are Pop Hart’s well-known “Cock Fight,” from the nearly complete collection of works by Pop Hart owned by the Museum; Winslow Homer’s first proof of “Mending the Nets”; several Whistler prints, and one by Pennell.
The contemporary group includes Frederico Castellon’s “Rendezvous in a Landscape” which won the Logan Prize at the Chicago Art Institute’s Seventh Print International in 1939; Don Freeman’s much-talked-of “Newstand,” first edition, and Velonis’ “Half-Ton Fish.” Velonis is well known for his pioneer work in Serigraph Prints, more commonly known as Silk Screen Prints.
This exhibition is Interesting from the point of view of all the techniques used, from woodcuts to silk screen.
