A Meticulous Serenity

Artist, scholar, writer, and educator, Clinton Adams (1918-2002) was recognised as one of the most important influences on the development of fine-art printmaking in America. This catalogue raisonné accounts for all of his work and traces the varieties of techniques and collaborations that make lithography a complex medium to keep track of. It also includes comments from the artist about the genesis of the work, the technical challenges he and his printers faced, and his own assessments of quality and significance.
