A new exhibit is coming to the Muscatine Art Center, and you won’t want to miss this one!

Pulled, Pressed and Screened: Important American Prints is headed to the Muscatine Art Center (1314 Mulberry Ave Muscatine) from May 26 through Jul 22.

From the 1930s to the 1980s the printed image in American art went through profound changes. Pulled, Pressed and Screened is an exhibition of 51 American prints by well-known artists such as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Dorothy Dehner, Mauricio Lasansky, Romare Bearden, and Robert Motherwell.

Especially significant to this exhibit are the contributions of women to printmaking during this period as well as the impact of African-American artists on the graphic arts.

The exhibition is organized by the Syracuse University Art Galleries and drawn from the Syracuse University Art Collection holdings of more than 12,500 prints.
