Cynthia Brower at Ink Spot Press (Reception)
Join us at the Ink Spot Press for the opening reception of Cynthia Jawitz Brower: Order/Disorder. Brower is a painter and printmaker who emigrated to Baltimore from South Africa during Apartheid. Her intimate prints, which are the subject of this show, celebrate smaller moments: a single flower, a lizard, a corner of Cezanne’s studio. The strong drawing and bold structure in her work impart a monumental quality to these seemingly less consequential things. She employs a wide variety of print techniques including etching, lithography, silkscreen, and linocut.

When it was first performed on the River Thames for King George I, Londoners covered the river in boats and barges to experience Handel’s newest work with the king.
