University of Richmond Museums presents Notebooks: Prints by Matt Mullican an exhibition on view Wednesday, August 21 to Sunday, June 29, 2014 at the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art.
American artist Matt Mullican (born 1951) rose to prominence as a member of the “Pictures Generation,” a group of young artists coming of age in the early 1970s in the United States. Since then, he has created a body of work that focuses on systems of knowledge, meaning, language, and archetypal symbols. He works with the relationship between perception and reality, between the ability to see something and the ability to represent it. The exhibition features selected works from an untitled portfolio of ten screenprints and 64 etchings based on twenty years of notebooks. http://museums.richmond.edu
