Ross/Romano, thru July 13. Featuring the work
of John Ross and Clare Romano, internationally
known printmakers, teachers & husband and
wife creative duo. Their book The Complete Printmaker,
first published in 1972, has been called
the definitive textbook on printmaking. Their
prints sample architecture, landscapes, waterways
and canyon vistas--a visual rrecord of their
travels to Italy, the Southwest, Eastern Europe,
and time spent at home in New York. Working in
the medium of collagraphy, prints by Ross and
Romano marry texture and color in a beautifully
layered and engaging way.
PER∙FORM, July 19-September 14. PER∙FORM
celebrates depictions of musicians, circus
performers, and stars of the stage, and pulls
from the gallery’s inventory of both early 20th
century and contemporary prints. Ranging from
abstract to figural, these compositions are ambitious
and inventive in their attempt to capture
sound, forms in movement, and the indefinable
energy- both physical and emotional- that fuels
and motivates performers.
The Old Print Gallery specializes in contemporary
and early 20th century prints, from American
and local DC artists. Established in historic
Georgetown in 1971, the gallery has become
one of the most respected antique print and
map gallery in the United States, with an
extensive collection in American historic prints,
botanicals, Currier & Ives, Audubon’s, American
town views, and maps of the United States. The
gallery also specializes in conservation framing,
using archival-quality materials and techniques.
