This is the story of how an out-of-work actor in eighteenth-century Munich created a process that would become one of the world's most widely used forms of image-making, and what a group of talented American artists did with it. The result is some of the best American art of any period, and a fascinating tour of the brutal transformation our country went through during the 1930s and 40s. I'll first describe the times, talent, tools and techniques that made these prints possible, before heading into the gallery to enjoy some stand-out pieces and the artists who made them. \ Gentle reminder \ In order to earn the stars you give me, I meet or beat your expectations and I run a tight ship. I take a dim view of no-shows (except in the case of a car accident, violent crime and/or childbirth).
