THE PRINTMAKERS

This exhibition presents 21 artworks by Alberta printmakers who were influential during the print movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s. This was a very prolific time for these artists who were specialists in the art of printmaking and who worked in several disciplines of printmaking. Some of these would include woodcut, block print, lithograph, silkscreen, etchings, clay print, linocut, and mono print. These artists all had their own unique style with the focus of the exhibition on abstract imagery.

The artists represented in this exhibition are John K. Esler, Marion Nicoll, Maxwell Bates, Deli Socilotto, Ted Faiers, A.S. Kozub, Aurdy, Carol Breen, T. Sasaki, Toshi Yoshia, Lucien Compernol, Vivian Lindoe, E.J. Ferguson, Kay Angliss, Kenneth Samuelson, and John Snow.

This exhibition was curated by Todd Schaber, Manager/Curator, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie, Region 1 of the AA Travelling Exhibition Program (TREX).
