Skillman Library Celebrates PRINTMAKING

Throughout the fall 2023 semester, visit three exhibits in Skillman Library celebrating the art of printmaking.

Helen Frank: The Monotypes

Lass Gallery

The magical and painterly monotypes of Helen Frank explore the mystery of chance in art making. Each unique print is made by applying paint or printing ink to a plexi-glass sheet and transferring the image to paper through a printing press. For the last 75 years, Frank has created thousands of prints in the basement studio of her New Jersey home. She finds joy and excitement in the many variables of the monotype process, which appeals to artists who work fast and thrive on spontaneity.
