Allison Morehead, Associate Professor of Art History at Queen’s University, explores the techniques of originality and self-conscious virtuosity characteristic of print revivals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the etchings of Félix Bracquemond, to the lithographs of Nabi artists Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard, to the woodcuts of Paul Gauguin, Edvard Munch, and the German expressionist Emil Nolde, Morehead invites us to engage with the techniques, forms, and paradoxical singularity of modernist printmaking.
