Softcover, sticker of bookstore on front, 31 x 24 cm, 300 pages, english text. *Very good condition. ISBN 9789053493434. This impressive compendium features the prints, rather than the paintings, of 100 abstract expressionist artists, including such giants as Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko as well as such lesser-known figures as Seong Moy and Hugo Weber. Each artist is represented by a full-page reproduction of one print and a one-page biographical and critical sketch by Acton, the curator of prints, drawings, and photographs at the Worcester Art Museum. Almost all of the prints come from the collection of the Worcester, where the accompanying exhibition originated. Introductory essays by musician David Amram and poet David Lehman relate the abstract expressionist movement to its historical and artistic context, with emphasis on the relationships between writers and artists in New York City in the Forties and Fifties. In addition to the visual treats it offers, this catalog is a valuable addition to the literature on the breadth and depth of abstract expressionist printmaking. Recommended for academic, larger public, and specialized art libraries. Kathryn Wekselman, MLn, Cincinnati ISBN 10: 9053493433 0 g.

"The Stamp of Impulse is the first in-depth examination of the influence of Abstract Expressionism on printmaking. In his discussion of prints by one hundred pioneer Abstract Expressionist printmakers from across the country, David Acton provides a new, comprehensive view of the American graphic arts at midcentury. Featured are masters of the New York School such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Nell Blaine, and Louise Nevelson; and printmakers who worked in Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, including such remarkable California artists as Richard Diebenkorn and Claire Falkenstein. The broad selection presents an exciting vision of the open exploration and stimulation interdependence of the arts during this dynamic period. Essays on the relationships of jazz musicians and artists by David Amram, and of poets and artists by David Lehman, along with period photographs of artists, workshops, musicians, and authors, help to conjure a vivid image of the era."
