Tribute - Robert Blackburn
September 11, 2003
September 11, 2003 is a Day of Remembrance. Please join us from 6 to 8 pm as we remember Robert Blackburn (1920-2003) and all those impacted by the events of September 11, 2001.
Robert Blackburn changed the course of American art through his groundbreaking graphic work and the Printmaking Workshop, which he founded in New York City in 1948. Blackburn was a pioneer in the technical and aesthetic development of abstract color lithography. His generosity in encouraging and training thousands of diverse artists to experiment in graphic color is legendary. He provided an open graphics studio for artists of diverse social and economic backgrounds, ethnicities, styles, and levels of expertise. Under his direction, the Printmaking Workshop became one of the most vital collaborative art studios in the world. The outstanding quality of work in this exhibit attests to the enduring vision of the Printmaking Workshop's founder and director and the generations of artists who have worked at the studio under his guidance.
