  Behind the Iron Curtain: Eastern European Master Printmakers

  Preview Reception:  Wednesday, April 1, 2009
  First Thursday Opening: April 2, 2009

  Gallery Hours: 12-5pm, Wednesday - Saturday

Marni Muir Gallery is proud to present the work of master printmakers: Karol Felix , Igor Benca,  Robert Jancovic, Kamilia Soukupova, and Peter Klucik among others.  The artists are well known internationally for their meticulous technical prowess and skill, each with a distinct character and subject matter ranging from abstraction to "magic realism".

The exhibition will include etchings, lithographs, wood engravings and large scale mezzotint    prints.

 These artists developed their asthetic before the fall of the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe.  During this time, artists were not allowed to present any political viewpoints in their work.  These works, from the collection of George Brandt, represent an artistic response to politics, society and the human condition through commentary rooted in irony, humor and abstraction.
