Miss Prather's Class
By Winfred Rembert
Located in New York, NY
Color Reduction woodcut from 4 blocks with 4 silk screen colors and embossing on white Rives BFK paper
Edition 28/30, Unframed
MassArt welcomed artist Winfred Rembert for the 2014 Master Print Series, an artist in residency project during which, an established artist transforms an idea into physical artwork, and invites students to collaborate in the art-making process.
A self-taught artist, Winfred Rembert records a painful chapter of American history in autobiographical paintings, created on hand-tooled and dyed leather, which explore the lives of African Americans in Jim Crow-era Georgia. After taking part in civil rights demonstrations, he survived a lynching only to be sent to prison to do hard labor on a chain gang. Another inmate taught him leatherworking and Rembert began depicting his past in engaging compositions and vibrant color. In many scenes, Rembert offers a raw view of racism, inequality, and violence while celebrating his community’s resilience in the face of such overwhelming injustice.
Winfred Rembert also participated in the Adderley Lecture series, which features distinguished artists, historians, and writers and was established in 1995 in memory of Tyrone Maurice Adderley. Past Adderley lecturers have included Chakaia Booker, Melvin Edwards...

Little Harbour
By Hiroshi Yoshida
Located in Burbank, CA
Original handmade Japanese woodblock print. "Little Harbour". View of moored boats framed by a large and ancient pine tree. Provenance: Purchased directly from the Yoshida Family, this work has never been circulated and has fresh, unfaded colors. Signed by the artist in pencil and in brush. Sealed "jizuri" (self-printed). Hiroshi Yoshida began his career as a painter, and first traveled to America in 1899, when he sold paintings to clients that included Charles Lang Freer, to whom he sold a painting of a cherry tree that is now at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Yoshida became a printmaker in the 1920s as a way for the rising middle class to be able to purchase fine artworks that he created as multiples via the ancient woodlblock printing tradition of Japan. Yoshida also curated the famous 1930 Toledo Museum circuit exhibition of 370 shin hanga prints that included many of his own works. He is considered one of the greatest printmaking Japanese landscape artists...
