Whether critiquing economic injustice, spotlighting social issues, satirizing public officials, or inspiring change, 20th-century printmaking has a long and storied history of disseminating ideas to the masses. Witness Hugo Gellert's Karl Marx's 'Capital' in Lithographs, Jasper Johns' weighty Vietnam protest poster, Moratorium, or the Silence = Death AIDS-awareness series of the '80s. This egalitarian tradition continues today — Art of Democracy features 60 contemporary printmakers whose works express both subtle and overt political sentiments. Don't miss Shawn Stuckey's simple screen prints or Michael Goro's delicate etching, A Fish Rots from the Head Down.
