Susan B. Lehman: Woodcuts
July 19 through September 29, 2024
The Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to present a special spotlight exhibit of 22 images carved and printed in color by Elkhart-based artist, Susan B. (Susie) Lehman.
In 2013, the artist offered the museum examples of 22 images of the 52 she created beginning in 1968 through 1986 when she switched her art practice to cut-paper collage imagery. Some of the images that MMAA owns won Susie Lehman awards and recognition and were collected actively. Susie Lehman is not stranger to the larger Michiana art community and four of her cut-paper collages can be seen regularly in the Lerner Public Art Collection.
American Woodcuts: Printing in Relief
July 19 through September 29, 2024
MMAA is pleased to present an exhibition of over 50 master woodcuts from the MMAA permanent collection.
Drawn entirely from the museum’s graphic arts archive, the collection reveals how the American woodcut has evolved over the past century. While many of the prints retain their connections to traditional methods of woodblock printing, they all expose a medium capable of bold new forms of artistic expression representing several generations of American artists from the 1930s to present day.
