First Wednesdays Conversation
Paper and Print
April 3, 2019
7–7:45 pm
Free with RSVP
18 West 86th Street, Gallery

This week’s First Wednesdays Conversation: Paper and Print features Paul Stirton, curator of the exhibition Jan Tschichold and the New Typography: Graphic Design Between the World Wars. Ever wondered what a lithograph is? Or the difference between an etching, an engraving, and a drypoint? And why does it matter? These techniques of printing have been around for centuries yet they are still in use by artists and designers. Discover the qualities of different printing processes through close study of historic prints.

Paul Stirton is associate professor at Bard Graduate Center. He has a particular interest in graphic design, interiors, and print culture, although his recent work has been concerned with public monuments and cultural transfer or emigration.

      <p><strong>First Wednesdays Conversation</strong><br />
<strong>Paper and Print<br />
</strong><b>April 3, 2019</b><b><br />
</b><b>7–7:45 pm<br />
</b>Free with RSVP<br />
18 West 86th Street, Gallery</p>
<p>This week’s <b><a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/events/990/03-apr-2019-first-wednesdays">First Wednesdays Conversation: Paper and Print</a> </b>features <b>Paul Stirton</b>, curator of the exhibition <strong><a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/gallery/exhibitions/89/jan-tschichold-and-the-new">Jan Tschichold and the New Typography: Graphic Design Between the World Wars</a></strong>. Ever wondered what a lithograph is? Or the difference between an etching, an engraving, and a drypoint? And why does it matter? These techniques of printing have been around for centuries yet they are still in use by artists and designers. Discover the qualities of different printing processes through close study of historic prints.</p>
<p><strong>Paul Stirton</strong> is associate professor at Bard Graduate Center. He has a particular interest in graphic design, interiors, and print culture, although his recent work has been concerned with public monuments and cultural transfer or emigration.</p>
