2010 Friends of the Woodstock School of Art

Nancy Summers, Truro Remembered
Linocut, 8" x 6"

It is with great pleasure that we present this year's Annual Print, "Truro Remembered", a linocut by Woodstock School of Art treasure, Nancy Summers. This dazzling work of art was realized from a sketch done on location on one of Nancy's many trips to Cape Cod with friend and fellow artist Pia Oste-Alexander. The print, limited to an edition of 75, will be given to contributors of $100 or more.

Working regularly at her craft at 82, Summers has created over thirty editions of prints in the recent past. In addition to being a fixture at the Friday and Saturday Printmaking class since the 1990's, Summers' irrepressible spirit has graced these studios for over fifty years, dating back to the 1940's, when the Art Students League of New York held its summer school in these buildings. There she had the opportunity to study with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Charles Rosen.

Concentrating mainly on the versatile and most graphic medium of block printing, Summers' exceptional ability as a designer enables her to translate small sketchbook studies into bold, stylized depictions of the landscape from Austria to Truro and back to the gnarled grouping of trees near her Woodstock home.

One of Woodstock's most beloved and respected artists, Nancy Summers has created this print especially for the benefit of The WSA. This edition will surely sell out quickly. Be among those of us who will honor this life long sweetheart of the WSA's by becoming a "Friend" today!
