He became known as an influential teacher and master printer, engaging with avant-garde artistic ideas while promoting a new collaborative approach to a traditional medium. The exhibition traces Blackburn\u2019s artistic evolution alongside the original prints of other iconic 20th-century American artists with whom he collaborated. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor more than five decades, Robert Blackburn ran a workshop open to everyone. His printmaking knowledge and skill were legendary, and his generosity opened printmaking to generations of artists from around the world,\u201d said Jonathan Canning, The Hyde\u2019s director of curatorial affairs and programming. \u201cAt the same time, he was deeply connected to Black artistic circles including the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn was born to Jamaican immigrants on December 10, 1920, and raised in Harlem, New York, during the Harlem Renaissance, an unparalleled flourishing of the arts, centered in New York City\u2019s creative black community. The arts were considered crucial to society\u2019s well-being and a fertile medium for activism, and these values resonated with Blackburn throughout his life and work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span>In 1947, he founded a printmaking workshop as a welcoming space where artists of any level could learn and create together, and it remains in operation to this day. Blackburn\u2019s art gradually shifted from figurative work to highly colored abstraction, creating a fascinating and engaging body of work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRobert Blackburn &amp; Modern American Printmaking\u201d celebrates both the artist and the democratic, diverse, and creative community that he created. It features approximately 60 works, including lithographs, woodcut, intaglio, and watercolors by Blackburn and the artists he collaborated with, including Grace Hartigan, Robert Rauschenberg, Elizabeth Catlett, and Romare Bearden, among others.
