Ohio University Exhibition Features Famous American Prints

Many of early America's most legendary and influential prints are coming to Ohio University for a two-month exhibition courtesy of a famous New York City gallery owned by the family of a university alumnus.

Seventy prints exploring the development of printmaking in America from the late 18th century to World War II will be displayed at Ohio University's Kennedy Museum of Art from April 17 through June 20. The exhibition provides a rare chance to see a rich cross section of American printmaking styles that reflect everything from rugged landscapes to famous battles, said Robert Newman, a printmaking graduate of Ohio University and third-generation owner of The Old Print Shop. The visiting prints are part of the 101-year-old gallery's collection, which attracts buyers and collectors of prints from throughout the world.

As part of the exhibition, Newman will participate in a panel discussion about printmaking in America at 3:30 p.m. May 13 in The Ridges Auditorium. The panel discussion and the reception following are free and open to the public. Other panelists are Roberts and Professor of Art Mary Manusos of the Printmaking Department.
