20th Century Subjects

The 20th century was a wild ride of innovation, disruption, and reinvention—and printmaking evolved right alongside it. Once the backbone of mass communication, it was swiftly overtaken by photography and photomechanical printing, which dominated newspapers, advertising, and illustration. But printmakers didn’t fade away—they adapted, transforming the medium into a bold artistic frontier, from Picasso’s striking linocuts to Warhol’s electrifying silkscreens. No longer just a means of reproduction, printmaking became a playground for experimentation and self-expression, capturing the energy of a century that never stopped moving.
