Art for all – the art of prints and printing

Northampton Museum And Art Gallery 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

From the early mass-dissemination of biblical stories to highly prized limited edition art works, prints have been used to communicate ideas across the globe. The subtlety, variety and expressiveness of the print medium secured its enduring appeal as a form of individual expression long after more mechanical means of reproduction emerged. This series explores the history of the artist’s print, a subject that leaves lasting impressions to this day, and runs alongside Northampton Museum and Art Gallery’s exhibition showcasing the works of print-maker John McGowan. Lectures will focus on an artwork from the museum’s art collection, providing either an exclusive chance to view it or highlighting works on display. Includes tea/coffee and biscuits. Booking is essential.
