Color Prints and Color Printing: Original Works by Old and Modern Masters

About the exhibition

Philadelphia Museum of Art presented Color Prints and Color Printing: Original Works by Old and Modern Masters in Philadelphia in 1945. The exhibition addressed color printing through original prints by earlier and modern makers, retaining their separate techniques and impressions. Documented examples include Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Saint Christopher (1506; chiaroscuro woodcut printed in gray and black) and Mary Cassatt’s Peasant Mother and Child (c. 1894; color drypoint and aquatint on laid paper). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
