Comics and Grassroots
The Museum of Printing History opens Comic Books: a Visual Journey June 12th May 14 - August 16. Join in on a gallery tour June 20th at 6:30 with Richard Evans. The exhibition presents an illustrated excursion through the development of a uniquely American art form. From their inception during the Great Depression, comic books have been a source of entertainment, wonder, derision, and controversy. What started out as a low cost experiment has grown into a huge, multi-media cultural mainstay. See the transformation of comic books, from their humble beginnings, World War II patriotism, ’50s horror and violence, and the return of the superhero, through today’s wonders of art and packaging.
Also opening is Texas Grassroots: Botanical Prints by David J. Webb. These large scale monoprints, printed directly from the plant specimen, represent the nexus of art and science. Up to 44” in length, these prints are evocative of Asian brush painting in their simple strokes and elegant forms. These grass prints, titled by the grass genus and species names, represent a scientifically precise visual record of botanical specimens.
