Shimmerings of Light, Mysteries of Shadow: The Etching Revival of the 19th Century
This exhibition begins with three works by Rembrandt, but then focuses on the artists of the 19th-century "etching revival," including such masters of the medium as James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, and Samuel Palmer. The works illustrate how etching, which required the artist to use line alone, introduced a new way of both drawing and perceiving the world.

Impressions: Printmaking in Japan
This selection of 33 prints illustrates the flowering of Japan's printmaking culture from the 17th to the 21st century. Four thematic groupings demonstrate the demand for prints in Edo's urban culture, Kabuki theater and the 47 Ronin, landscape and Western influence, and adaptations to global markets and practices. Works include woodblock prints by Hiroshige and Utamaro, who first captivated 19th-century Western artists. Modern and contemporary artists employing techniques of etching, aquatint, and drypoint are also represented.

Fear and Folly: The Visionary Prints of Francisco Goya and Federico Castellon
Though separated by about 150 years, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) and Federico Castellon (1914-1971) often appear closer to one another than to their contemporaries, as they both turned their attention to the human condition. In this exhibition, the artists are represented by important print series: Castellon's lithographs for Edgar Allen Poe's The Masque of the Red Death and Goya's etchings from Los Disparates (or The Proverbs). Many artists have been drawn to things dark and fantastic, but few have probed the human condition with the insight and truthfulness found in these images.

Drawn to Abstraction: Prints from the 1960s and '70s
The mid- to late-20th century in America was a time of boundary testing and social critique. Artists, too, challenged accepted techniques and subject matter while critically examining the role of art in society. Printmaking brought the excitement of the New York and International art scene within reach of middle-class collectors. The works in this exhibition capture the vibrancy of the emerging abstract movements during this time, including Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Op Art, and Pop Art. This exhibition features an extraordinary collection of works on paper by artists widely recognized as giants of 20th-century art: Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Frank Stella, and others.

BOO! Images of the Macabre
Why are we so attracted to images of the macabre? Exploring our fears inspires a quickening of the pulse and heightens our awareness of the mysteries of life--and death. Psychologist Carl Jung wrote that the artist's role is to give expression to the shadow side of humankind, which usually dwells below the level of consciousness. He advocated forcing shadows into the light in order to master dark impulses and maintain a healthy balance. Engage your subconscious through art that explores eerie landscapes, creepy creatures, ghostly figures, and other mysterious intersections of reality and imagination.

American Perspectives on Modernism
Drawn from the KIA collection, this exhibition includes works by Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Charles Sheeler, Max Weber and other American modernists. Responding to the artistic developments in Europe, these artists sought new ways to picture the rapidly changing times of the early 20th century.
