digital description:
Ron Rumford’s color screenprint and intaglio print, <em>Susan and Dean</em>, was commissioned by the Print Club of Cleveland as its annual publication print for 2020. Rumford’s work is inspired by the mid-century work of printmakers in the circle of Stanley William Hayter. The composition of <em>Susan and Dean </em>is comprised of overlapping blocks of gestural line and shape layered with the textures of color and combined printmaking techniques.
