Finding Pictures: Purposeful Mastery – A Detailed Look into Robert Blackburn’s Early Color Lithographs
Robert Blackburn (1920-2003) was a MacArthur Award-winning artist, master printer and teacher who changed the course of American art through his innovative graphic work. His legendary Printmaking Workshop studio became a mecca for talented artists from around the country and world; their artworks attest to Blackburn’s enduring vision and are now a part of the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop collection at the Library of Congress. Together with Basia Nosek, the Library’s Harper-Inglis post-graduate conservation research fellow, the audience will take a closer look at some of Blackburn’s visually and technically stunning early color lithographs. Katherine Blood, the Library’s artist fine prints curator, will provide context for the collection and highlight selected works by Blackburn’s students and collaborators. This virtual presentation will be recorded.
