Now through January 6, 2012:

Pulled, Pressed & Screened

From the 1930s to the 1980s the printed image in American art went through profound changes. Beginning with the black and white lithographs that were popularized by the regionalists and urban realists, and continuing through the experimental intaglio prints of the 1940s and 1950s, the ‘Pop’ explosion of screenprints in the 1960s, and the precision of super realism in the 1970s, printmaking has captured the imagination of countless American artists. 

Also on view:  Jeff Davies (1938-2006) was a Syracuse area self-taught artist who gained a near cult status among local collectors. Davies developed a style that incorporated elements of Surrealism with Rube Goldberg inspired machines often in service to a sexually charged visual theme. As he gained experience he enlarged the size of the images, ultimately making murals, the most famous of which are on the interior and exterior walls of the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurant in downtown Syracuse.
