The Taft Museum of Art:

Impressions and Improvisations,

The Prints of Romare Bearden

 January 27 - April 29, 2012

"A twentieth-century master of

 collage and printmaking, Romare Bearden (1911–1988)

 was also arguably that century’s most influential

 African American artist. This is the first exhibition 

to focus on Bearden’s printmaking alone. 

It includes 75 vividly colored graphic works—etchings,

 engravings, aquatints, lithographs, 

collagraphs, screenprints, photo projections,

 and monotypes—all created over a span of thirty years.

 The exhibition also features some 

working print plates and proofs that

 reveal the artist’s creative process."
