The story of the development of the relief print in California carries with it
the story of the Golden State. The woodcut and wood engraving techniques formed
the basis of several distinctive art movements as well as cultural and political
movements. Women found powerful and early voices in this media, as did the Labor
movement and more recently Latino artists. Guest curator Art Hazelwood has selected
nearly 100 works spanning 100 years of California history.
Art Hazelwood has curated several artists retrospectives as well as the touring
exhibition Hobos
to Street People, Artists’ Responses to Homelessness from the New Deal
to the Present. His prints are in the Whitney Museum of American Art and
the Library of Congress.
