 This work exhibits shapes which are not bound by the rigid format of most printing techniques.  Textures,  brushwork and transparent glazing are layered to create a fluid style which is more characteristic of painting.  Ida Kohlmeyer was a forunner in this experimental approach to silk-screen printmaking.   The silk-screen is a medium which was developed largely in the 20th Century and came to the forefront in the pop culture of the 60's and 70's.  In her early prints one sees the combination of early stenciling techniques,  with loose and painterly brush work, transparent glazing  and the technological advancements of light sensitive photographic emulsion that incorporate photography into the medium.

Howard Finster Silkscreen Prints

Howard Finster was a well known Folk and Outsider Artist from North Georgia.  He began his visions at the age of three.  He is famous for his album covers,  portraits of celebrities, representations of pop icons and his silkscreen prints.  Paradise Garden, which is located at his home and shop in Summerville Georgia, is a popular tourist attraction.  He was dedicated to putting his message out there. 
His last prayer for Mankind:
"Call upon the name of Jesus, even in your last breath, pray the Lord's Prayer, pray without ceasing, love one another, forgive your brother, win his love, Jesus is coming in great power and glory, be ready to go."
We have many good examples of the Finster Silkscreen prints in our collection.  All the prints that we have are also included in the Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
