"Printing is an art of physical contact, involving transfer under pressure between surfaces—a direct touch that can evoke multiple forms of intimacy. ✋🏼 And yet it is simultaneously an art of estrangement: it requires the deferral, displacement, and distribution of artistic agency, and it trades in reversal and inversion. The double implication of the term “pull” speaks to this paradox: prints arise from a certain towardness, an attraction between material bodies, but “to pull a print,” in studio parlance, means to peel it from its matrix, breaking the plane of generative contact and releasing it into a field of dissemination.” ... The National Gallery of Art presents "Contact: Art and the Pull of Print", a six-part lecture series by Jennifer L. Roberts, Elizabeth Cary Agassiz Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University. Watch the lectures on Sundays through May 30 on the #NationalGalleryofArt website: https://www.nga.gov/research/casva/meetings/mellon-lectures-in-the-fine-arts/roberts-2021.html #printmaking #mellonfoundation #artlecture #printculture https://www.instagram.com/p/COQ6bkFFzv-/?igshid=qc5pubmy4ved
