From the Artist
What's so exciting about making a print, any print? It has to be that dizzy-making moment—call it terror? —that comes with the pulling of a proof.

Wooka, 1989, by Jules Olitski, is an offset lithograph and screenprint in an edition of 76 produced by Brandywine during two visits. The screen-printed border highlights the offset central space, emphasizing the presence of two planes that shimmer and radiate. Olitski is regarded as a master of color field painting, and his Brandywine prints demonstrate his fascination with the visual sensation of color.
