Benton: Polish Prints Exhibition Last Day Today, May 25
A Print Sampler: Explore Printmaking Techniques Through Polish Prints 1960-1990
This exhibition is geared towards teaching the viewer how to distinguish between the various printmaking techniques—from mezzotint to woodcut, silkscreen, linocut, etching, aquatint and engraving—using a collection of Polish prints dating from 1960-1990. Clear explanations of the printmaking process accompany each print. Also on display are the tools used to create the works on view.
The prints in this exhibition were collected by Professor Emeritus Gus Mazzocca and are an intended gift to the Benton. Mazzocca is responsible for creating an exchange program between the University of Connecticut and the art academy in Krakow, Poland in 1986.
