Printing Color: Chiaroscuro to Screenprint

at Legion of Honor (see times)

Color has challenged and fascinated printmakers since the Renaissance. This exhibition explores technological and artistic revolutions in color printmaking from the 16th century through today. From innovative 18th-century mezzotints to avant-garde 19th-century lithographs to experimental works by contemporary artists Kiki Smith and Henry Taylor, the exhibition highlights printmaking across time and technique. These vibrant works on paper reveal the enduring pull of color in print.
