- Summary:
- "This book presents an introduction to master screenprinter Lou Stovall by his son--part memoir, part history--that shows Lou Stovall's path as an artist while illuminating the golden age of art in DC in the 1960s and 1970s. It then presents a stunning series of prints and poems from his Of the Land series that showcase innovative screenprinting techniques. It finishes with an excerpt from Lou's autobiography, which gives readers a sense of his approach to art and life, which are intertwined. Stovall created The Workshop in 1968 as a small, active silkscreen workshop focused primarily on printing community posters. Under Stovall's leadership, Workshop, Inc. evolved into an internationally-respected printmaking facility and Stovall collaborated with Jacob Lawrence and Sam Gilliam, among others. His works are part of numerous collections, including the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Ameican Art Museum, and The Phillips Collection. Publication coincides with a Kreeger Museum exhibit and precedes a forthcoming exhibit at the University of Georgia (TBD)"-- Provided by publisher.
