Join Allison Morehead, Associate Professor of Art History at Queens University, as she explores the techniques of originality and self-conscious virtuosity characteristic of print revivals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the etchings of Flix Bracquemond, to the lithographs of Nabi artists Maurice Denis and douard Vuillard, to the woodcuts of Paul Gauguin, Edvard Munch and the German expressionist Emil Nolde, Morehead invites us to engage with the techniques, forms, and paradoxical singularity of modernist printmaking.
