Featuring more than 120 works spanning five centuries, this exhibition at the National Gallery of Art explores how artists refine and test ideas through printmaking. Side-by-side displays and rarely seen proofs illuminate the trial-and-error techniques of printmakers such as Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, and Rembrandt, demonstrating how historical methods continue to shape contemporary artistic practices.
