The Norton Simon Museum presents The Original Print: An Introduction to Printmaking in the Postwar Period, an exhibition that looks at the technical aspects of printmaking. The exhibition combines explanatory texts, archival documentation, photographs, video footage and the actual implements of printmaking (a woodblock, an etching plate, a lithography stone and a screen). A select group of prints on view serves to illustrate these concepts directly, in an effort to familiarize visitors with the methods and terminology used to describe the graphic arts. The Original Print is part of Pacific Standard Time, an unprecedented collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, which are coming together to tell the story of the birth of the LA art scene.
