Print Lovers at 30: Celebrating Three Decades of Giving

Social Justice, Humor and Parody

Since the early 16th century, printmakers have created imagery intended to provoke thought and even defy the social order. Politically and socially conscious artists continue to challenge us with startling images that expose stereotypes and disrupt the status quo. Through parody, irony and humor, they raise provocative questions about race, gender and other urgent social and political issues.
