Painter to discuss printmaking at Tandem Press

New York painter David Shapiro will discuss the “personal language” of signs and symbols — circles, spirals, dots, knots and more — that characterize his work in a free public lecture on Thursday, Feb. 17.

Shapiro currently is in residence at Tandem Press, an experimental print workshop affiliated with UW–Madison.

The Museum of Modern Art and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Mint Museum in Charlotte, N. C., all include Shapiro’s paintings in their permanent collections. His lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m. in Room L150 Elvehjem.
