Abstract: "Widely known for his vibrant paintings that employ a variety of styles - including abstraction, figuration, pop, and cartoon - Carroll Dunham (b. 1949) is also one of the most prolific printmakers of his generation. An integral part of his artistic process, Dunham's prints combine the spontaneity and drama of his paintings with the careful premeditation that print media often demand. Dunham's imagery - such as his signature wickedly cartoony semi-abstraction - is transformed, refined, and often intensified in the graphic work." "Carroll Dunham Prints: Catalogue Raisonne, 1984-2006 documents the artist's output and the print archive at the Addison Gallery of American Art, which encompasses more than two hundred lithographs, intaglios, drypoints, linocuts, wood engravings, screenprints, and monotypes, the majority of which have never been published in book form. The authors examine the significance of printmaking to Dunham's overall oeuvre, his sensitivity toward the materials and procedures of printmaking, his inventive approach to process, and the evolution of his imagery. An essay by the artist offers insight into Dunham's journey as a printmaker and his discoveries in the varied media and collaborative processes of the print workshop."--Jacket.
