      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.

      The following prints will be shown:

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

Collections of the former Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs include works on paper that may fall into other categories: American Art, European Art, Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and Photography.
      The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference.

We welcome your feedback about corrections.
      For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.
