Serigraphs by Edward Landon
2024-02-04 - 2024-04-14, 2024-02-04 00:00 - 2024-04-14 23:59 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
February 4 – April 14, 2024
Reception: February 18, 2024, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Considered one of the pioneers of serigraph or silk screen printing, American artist Edward Landon (1911-1984) was among the founding members of the Silk Screen Group which later became the National Serigraph Society. The group exhibited internationally, to highlight the creative possibilities of the medium. Landon exhibited at the Art Complex Museum in 1981, and gave the museum one of his prints, Land’s End, at the close of the exhibit. At two later dates, more of his work came into the museum from a generous family member’s collection.
Silk Screen printing was initially used only commercially when these experimental artists began using it to create fine art. Carl Zigrosser (1891-1975), curator for the Philadelphia Art Museum, coined the term “serigraph” in order to differentiate between the commercial and fine art use of the printing process. “Seri” is a Latin word meaning “silk” and “graphos” is a Greek word meaning “to write.”
Shown: Edward Landon, Web II, (Detail), 1960, serigraph

Genevieve Davis worked for 50 years in the financial management of nonprofit corporations. Now retired from that, she is starting her second career as an artist, the discipline she was originally trained in.”

Skip DeBrusk is an ardent fisherman who spends far too much time chasing cod, tuna, stripers and sharks on Stellwagen Bank, consequently his paintings reflect a lifelong interest in marine and nautical painting. He is fortunate to have had many great teachers including Joanne Papandrea, Nancy Howell and Jack Haran. Many of his paintings lean towards the oriental and reflect a large expanse of white paper allowing the viewer to actively participate by filling in their own sense of mystery.
