Prints by the Masters

M. Hanks Gallery, Santa Monica

Group show

Lithographs, linocuts, serigraphs and etchings by Henry Tanner, Jacob Lawrence, Elizabeth Catlett, Charles White, William Pajaud, Phoebe Beasley, Romare Bearden, Walter Williams, Ed McCluney and others are included in Prints by the Masters at M. Hanks Gallery.

Most of the best African American artists also are printmakers. Indeed, some of their most powerful statements are made in this medium. For example, in 1946 and 1947 Elizabeth Catlett, under a Julius Rosenwald grant, executed her famous I am the Black Woman series, depicting the various contributions to American society made by African American women. Two linocuts from that series are included in this show.

Also included in the exhibition is a portrait of a mysterious man named Vincent by Ed McCluney, an etching by Romare Bearden showing a small band playing jazz, and an etching executed in 1910 by Henry Tanner that depicts the Disciples watching Jesus walk on water.
