Christiane Baumgartner works at the intersection of old and new media to expand the traditions of printmaking. Her prints are about speed and transmission, human sight and its elusive capture, cultural memory and modes of representation.

In a portfolio of 22 screen prints based on gouache paintings from 1941, Jacob Lawrence portrays the complexity of abolitionist John Brown’s life, from his fierce Christian piety to his militant devotion to the abolition of slavery.

The Davis welcomes local K-12 educators for a workshop focused on utilizing resources from our permanent collections and the special exhibition Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country.
