T
he Flint Institute of Arts
has been collecting prints
since 1930. In the exhibit
“Pressed for Time: The History of
Printmaking” (on display through
Dec. 30), works are featured by
artists such as Albrecht Durer,
James Abbot McNeil Whistler and
Andy Warhol — drawn mostly
from the FIA’s collection of more
than 3,000 works in relief, inta-
glio, planographic and stencil.
With such an emphasis on
prints in the history of art, it
makes sense the FIA is also home
to the Flint Print Fair, whose
sixth-annual event runs Nov.
19-20.
Eight dealers will show and sell
a range of works, from projects by
Old Masters to new pieces by con-
temporary artists. Franklin-based
Paramour Fine Arts, owned by
collectors Ed and Karen Ogul, will
include figurative images made
by Jewish artists as America came
out of the Great Depression.
Also represented at the fair are
prints from Stewart & Stewart in
Bloomfield Hills, including artist
Jane Goldman. A colleague intro-
duced her to artist and master
printer Norman Stewart, who
became her publisher and dealer.
Born in Dallas and based in
Boston, Goldman earned art
degrees at Smith College in
Massachusetts and the University
of Wisconsin before spending a
week at a time for more than 30
years at Stewart’s Bloomfield Hills
studio. There, she created color-
Jewish artists to be shown by Paramour Fine Arts: LEFT: Raphael Soyer (1899-1987) lived and worked in
New York. “This color lithograph, Waitresses, recalls a time when many women working in this position were
under dress-code restrictions,” explains Ed Ogul, owner of Paramour Fine Arts. CENTER: Lou Barlow (1908-
2011) worked on the WPA in New York and produced this evocative color aquatint of Orchard Street in 1939.
