Impeccable Tate: Seventeenth-Century Ornamental Design in Print June 11 – December 21 at the MU Museum of Art & Archaeology.
Designs for the ornamentation of fabrics, furniture, jewelry, armor, and avariety of other materials are of fundamental importance to the history ofWestern printmaking. Indeed, the techniques of woodcut, engraving, and
etching all originated in methods for creating decoration on media other than
paper. The seventeenth century saw a remarkable flourishing of printeddesigns, which disseminated elite tastes and sophisticated craftsmanship to
wider audiences than ever before. This exhibition will feature an array ofprinted designs for lavishly embellished architectural elements, woodworking
and carpentry, jewelry, and other personal luxury objects.
