About the Event
American Color Print Society Members Spring Exhibition
In the year 1939, the founding members of the American Color Print Society decided to create an organization for the exhibition of color prints. This was a time when only black and white prints were considered worthy of display in museums and galleries. The three founding members were Florence V. Cannon, Mary Mullineaux and Waunita Smith.
The American Color Print Exhibition of 1940, which included the work of the 85 original members, heralded the arrival of the color print as an American print medium. The use of color in printmaking encouraged artists to experiment with the traditional methods of printmaking such as lithography, block printing, etching, intaglio and monotype. This led to other printmaking techniques including the use of collage, found materials and digital printmaking.
