You see a set of ten small prints, each with simple shapes and lines in black and gray. The images look abstract, like symbols or letters from an unknown language. These prints were made using a method called lithography, where the artist draws on stone or metal and then prints the image. Clinton Adams helped lead the revival of fine art lithography in the U.S. during the 1960s. He worked at the University of New Mexico’s print workshop, one of the top places for artists learning this technique. Each piece in the series feels quiet and thoughtful, with space and shape balanced like poetry on a page. The Museum of Modern Art
