A Winters Tale
Robert and Susan Sosnick show works by printmaker
Terry Winters at the DIA.
T
he complex images of
printmaking are the sub-
ject of a current exhibi-
tion at the Detroit Insti-
tute of Arts (DIA) — "Prints by
Terry Winters: A Retrospective From
the Collection of Robert and Susan
Sosnick."
Winters' works, abstract and enigmat-
ic, will have their most comprehen-
sive showing since the artist began
exploring printmaking in 1982.
"We will be showing 105 of 140
prints completed by Winters, and
that means practically everything he
has done," said Nancy Sojka, associ-
ate curator of graphic arts at the
museum. "Many of his forms are
from biology and botany and bring
out texture and surface."
The exhibition surveys the evolu-
tion of the artist's style from early
simple organic imagery to current
explorations - of spatial and visual per-
ception, beginning with his first lith-

ograph, Ova, and continuing
through his latest color etching,
Multiple Visualization Technique.
"The works are an intuitive
response to the medium," the artist
said about using printmaking tech-
niques, which include lithography,
etching, linoleum cutting, woodcut-
ting and screenprinting.
All the pieces in the exhibition
belong to Detroit-area collectors
Robert and Susan Sosnick. In addi-
tion to owning an impression of
every print made by Winters, they
also have many of the artist's paint-
ings and drawings.
Winters makes few prints in a
simple or straightforward manner.
He collaborates with skillful printers
to exploit the unique qualities each
of the printmaking mediums can
bring to his imagery, and viewers are
encouraged to consider the technical
complexity in each piece.
— Suzanne Chessler

ings at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday,
