Meaning
of the multiple.
Printmaking has been considered the democratic
art form for centuries. This began with the invention of the Guttenberg press
during the period of the renaissance The press allowed information to be
disseminated to the masses so everyone could be informed and literate, not just
the wealthy and the church.
Being a multiple
made it more affordable for people to buy and permitted them to have art in
their lives. People have used prints to spread their ideas, personal, political
and social to broader audiences.
With this in mind I included artists for this
exhibition who have embodied the idea of progress and change in their lives by
their commitment to making a difference through their art, teaching, community
activism, and collaboration. Some of these artists work on environmental
issues, some with the disenfranchised, others work to protect animal rights.
Thank you for reading!
