        "description": "By the time Becker created <em>Jam Session II,</em> he had left Atelier 17 in New York for a teaching position at Washington University, Saint Louis. There he established a printmaking department that would promote Atelier 17\u2019s spirit of innovation to a new generation of artists. This impression of <em>Jam Session II,</em> one of the artist\u2019s boldest black-and-white abstractions, is dedicated to Peggy and Fred Hartt, the latter a curator and fellow professor who helped form an especially strong collection of 20th-century modernism for what is now the Kemper Art Museum at Washington University.",
