Description
"The Stamp of Impulse is the first in-depth examination of the influence of Abstract Expressionism on printmaking. In his discussion of prints by one hundred pioneer Abstract Expressionist printmakers from across the country, David Acton provides a new, comprehensive view of the American graphic arts at midcentury. Featured are masters of the New York School such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Nell Blaine, and Louise Nevelson; and printmakers who worked in Chicago, Philadelphia, Los show more Angeles, and San Francisco, including such remarkable California artists as Richard Diebenkorn and Claire Falkenstein. The broad selection presents an exciting vision of the open exploration and stimulation interdependence of the arts during this dynamic period. Essays on the relationships of jazz musicians and artists by David Amram, and of poets and artists by David Lehman, along with period photographs of artists, workshops, musicians, and authors, help to conjure a vivid image of the era."--Jacket. show lessTags
