December 1, 1944: In the small Print Gallery on the second floor of the Brooklyn Museum, an exhibition of thirty serigraphs (silk screen prints) by Henry Mark will open Sunday afternoon, January 14th to be current through March 11, 1945.
Henry Mark has succeeded in bringing to the fairly new technique of silk screen printing as a fine art, a calligraphic style that is highly personal in color and in composition. A young artist, has already exhibited at the Virginia Museum’s third biennial in 1941, and at the Carnegie Institute. In 1944 he had a one-man show at the Artists’ Gallery. His prints are represented in the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and in various print collections.
Mark has been working in the medium of silk screen for the past two years. The forthcoming exhibition of prints, and a small number of drawings, represents the greater part of his graphic work to date.
