Contemporary Printmaking in the Northwest
This collection of the work of 48 artists represents the diverse conceptual and stylistic approaches to printmaking. Each artist focuses on a particular characteristic of printmaking -- the transferred image, the possibility of multiples, the inherent visual appearance resulting from the process. Essays on artists' works are included and focus more on aesthetics and content than on the mechanical process. Some of the featured artists include Glen Alps, Paul Berger, Joan Ross Blaedel, Byron Bratt, Eric Chesebro, Dennis Cunningham, Lockwood Dennis, and Eleanor Erskine.

Fay Jones
Her paintings are tableaus, and her tableaus are stones, yet they are also baited traps, poised to spring. One moves around them with care as well as pleasure. -- Regina HackettThis delightful book, with insightful essays by Regina Hackett and Sondra Shulman, provides a fresh perspective and understanding of Fay Jones art. The paintings and mixed-media collages included here survey four main periods in the artist's career. From the early 1970s to 1977, Jones works were primarily diaristic.

Robert C. Jones
As a painter, Northwest artist Bob Jones lives in a spare, boiled-down world of dark, elemental shapes, vibrant and complex color, and constant experimentation, most often operating within a highly specific structure and a clear focus. He has a warm, rich palette, reminiscent of Impressionist landscape, but the large expanses of black that have long marked his drawings have also played a significant role in his paintings as well. For nearly 40 years, Jones has brought himself to think clearly and persistently about a small but universal set of issues: form and line, the way in which color behaves, how a painting most directly creates a presence. They are what forms the core of abstract painting; however, as he has pursued them, Jones has given them his own twist. His work has varied widely over the years, but it has always returned to a fascination with the geometry of composition, the nature of the lines and the interplay between drawing and painting.

Painting Harlem Modern
Jacob Lawrence was one of the best-known African American artists of the twentieth century. In Painting Harlem Modern, Patricia Hills renders a vivid assessment of Lawrence's long and productive career. She argues that his complex, cubist-based paintings developed out of a vital connection with a modern Harlem that was filled with artists, writers, musicians, and social activists. She also uniquely positions Lawrence alongside such important African American writers as Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison. Drawing from a wide range of archival materials and interviews with artists, Hills interprets Lawrence's art as distilled from a life of struggle and perseverance. She brings...
