Reverse and Repeat: Master Prints from the Collection of the David Owsley Museum of Art
In traditional printmaking, an inked image is transferred from a printing surface in reverse onto a sheet of paper, and the process is repeated multiple times. Reverse and Repeat serves as an overview of the printmaker’s art while also providing an occasion for seasoned connoisseurs to view highlights from the David Owsley Museum of Art’s growing collection of over 4,000 works on paper.
In addition to presenting an abridged survey of the history of printmaking from the fifteenth century until today, these examples have been carefully selected to represent the three fundamental families of prints: relief, intaglio, and planographic or surface printing. Each section illustrates a variety of techniques, including woodcut, engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint, and lithography. Accessible explanations of printmaking methods, along with guided docent tours, teach students how to identify print types through close examination with the naked eye and magnifying glass.
